Well, that's the whole point of the article - we're not allowing people to be educated about how the disease can be prevented. Saying "Don't have sex" is a stupid means of prevention, but it's the only thing that educators are allowed to do. Even in rural counties where dirt roads still exist, there are schools, but those schools have a limited, strictly defined curriculum.
