Right on the heels of the Amber Cole twitter situation, news has come out that one in ten sixth graders has already had sex by the age of 11 or 12 in the state of Texas. After that, the numbers jump to 22 percent of seventh graders having had sex, and for every year after that there is a 10 percent increase.

Some people are citing Gov. Rick Perry’s executive order that female students receive the HPV vaccine before entering sixth grade as giving pre-teens a license to be promiscuous. I’d say that bridge has most likely already been crossed.
