WASHINGTON (AP) -- People who flee urban schools in pursuit of more wholesome settings may be surprised by this report card: Suburban students engage in just as much sex, drugs and fighting as city kids do.

"The desks may be newer, the paint may be fresher and the faces may be whiter, but the students are just as likely to have sex, use controlled substances and break the law," says the report released Wednesday by The Manhattan Institute, a New York-based conservative think tank.

Well . . . I'm sure they still get better grades and SAT scores. I know the solution for this problem. Abstinence education and returning God to the classroom.
