An early part of the article said there was one. In my mind, neither the author nor the instructor he wrote about seemed approving of the choice, and went to lengths to cast it as non-normative. A decision for abstinence before marriage should be encouraged, not demanded, and not based on scare tactics. There are more people making that choice than the article suggests.
I thought the virgins from the article were simply people who never had sex before, not abstinence advocates. I wholeheartedly disagree with your abstinence ideology, but I don't think HN is the place to discuss that.
If 70% of all American teenagers have had sex by the time they are 19, I'm not at all surprised virginity is not the norm in a open no-holds-barred class on sexuality. The class targets is audience, as it should.
