Theme Song Among the tales of abstinence-only education curriculum are the Lesson of the Clear Tape, and the Lesson of the Chewing Gum. The Lesson of Clear Tape presents a classroom of girls with a single piece of clear tape. They stick it to their clothes, then take it off and pass it to the next girl. After every girl has done this, the teacher examines the tape, points out that it’s filthy with hair, lint, dirt, whatever, and it no longer sticks well to anything. The girls are then told they are like a fresh piece of tape, and every sexual relationship they have makes them more filthy and less sticky, and they won’t be able to keep a good husband if they’ve been used too much.
