A group at South High School called Sexually Mature And Responsible Teens (SMART), is one of many projects across the state that are engaging teens in pregnancy prevention efforts.

In the sex education classes teens take in Minnesota schools, abstinence has been touted as the only 100 percent effective way to avoid pregnancy. But survey statistics don’t give abstinence the credit.

I hope they go on to do more, it sounds like a great initiative and one a lot of schools sorely need!
