    It’s hard to tell if this is 5d chess towards a conservative wet dream or just the usual christofascist nonsense.

    What’s the difference?

    It sounds a lot like abstinence-only education, which has been a failing strategy from the Right forever.

    If their goal is as Zorque just described – and it is, by the way – then it’s been a great success forever.

      What’s the difference?

      The stated goal of abstinence-only education is that young people don’t have sex until marriage. It fails at that. The (un)stated goal of the christofascists is probably keeping the future labor pool large so wages stay low, but it is at odds with the social goal.
