Come on, this is slightly selective quoting, even in context the rest is fundie enough:
"During Elliott's class, the 10 girls in attendance asked few questions, probably because of the stigma of the assumption of sexual experience, Elliot said.
If a girl is not a virgin, she has the opportunity to be born again as one through a simple prayer. "Because it's biblically based, even though you made a mistake, you can still be redeemed," Turner said. "There is redemption."
At the end of classes in August, girls will take vows to remain pure at an abstinence ceremony, where they will wear white and their father, brother or guardian will escort them down the aisle to receive a memento to remind them of their vow.
Turner's desire to raise her daughter with Christian values that emphasized purity, came from her own troubled adolescence. When she was a teenager, "I had low self esteem, and I was full of rejection and insecurity," she said.
After her daughter was born, Turner thought "I'm going to teach her principles that no one taught me." Turner didn't have a father figure in her life, which she said left a void. Many young girls try to fill that void with sex she said.
"Girls give in to sex not because they want sex - it's like a hug. If they can get that from their fathers, they won't need it from a boyfriend." Turner said classes on romantic relationships focus on communication, not sex. "Sex is only a small part of relationships," she said.
In teen relationships, however, oral sex is a mainstay. For many teens it's a guilt-free way to engage in sex.
"I think they need to know there's options," Elliott said. "Purity will never break their hearts."
