See? Proof that PBS is a tool of the radical, liberal anti-religious left!

Unsentimental Education
A PBS documentary depicts the transformation of a Texas teenager -- from conservative Christian to champion of sex education.

Tonight's documentary on PBS, "The Education of Shelby Knox," traverses the bridge between both sides. Shelby Knox is a 15-year-old Christian girl who takes a church pledge to not have sex until marriage. She lives in Lubbock, Texas, a Republican Christian stronghold where local government meetings begin with a prayer, and where students learn that abstinence is the only way to prevent pregnancy and disease.

But surprise, surprise: Shelby's town also happens to have one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in the country.

2. That's been on already in some markets.. It's well worth watching

-especially for teens. Shelby Knox is a formidable young woman- she takes on her parents, preacher, school board, and more. Television is rarely this good; don't miss it.

3. A great documentary

I don't want to post a spoiler. So I'll just say that her parents are pretty terrific people after all. And what her mother does near the end of the documentary made me almost spit out my coffee. If all fundie parents were like these two people, I'd say there's hope nearer than the horizon.
