Abstract

[I remember going to see the movie Mean Girls (Lorne & Waters) in 2004 and thinking the aforementioned quote was one of the funniest in the film. A witty commentary on the multitude of abstinence-only programs that permeated public education during the second Bush administration, the filmmakers offered audiences a parodied view of what was actually taking place in public schools across the nation. And while at the time, I was amused by the coach’s threats to his students concerning premarital sex, the implication is anything but funny.]
