Sadly enough, I doubt this ignorance is confined to Florida. And GOOD for them for actually monitoring this and doing something about it!
For more scary 'myths' resulting from Abstinence only teaching: Abstinence Only is not the answer!

« Killerbean : Drinking bleach?!?! That's a joke right ... no one can be stupid enough to try that. Let x = stupidity of the average teenager
Let y = stupidity of florida
Let z = stupidity of abstinence-only sex education
Now imagine (x*y)^z
Drinking bleach is well within the projected estimate.

We had some pretty wild myths when I was a kid. But these one win the prize! That is really sad! Do the parents not talk to the kids? If they do, do the kids NOT believe their parents? I am honest with my kids. I don't sugar coat anything that is important. They get the facts they need--as appropriate to their age. I'll say it again, this is very sad.

A recent survey [Who conducted this survey?] that found some [How many is some?] Florida teens believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy has prompted lawmakers [Who specifically?] to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state.
The survey [Source?] showed that Florida teens also believe [Unanimously? If not how many?] that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant.
State lawmakers [Again, lawmakers is extremely broad] said the myths are spreading because of Florida's abstinence-only sex education [Do they cite any sources?], Local 6 reported.
They are proposing a bill that would require a more comprehensive approach, the report [Report? What report?] said.
It would still require teaching abstinence but students would also learn about condoms and other methods of birth control and disease prevention.
The bill just passed its first vote in a committee [What committee?], Local 6 reported.
Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.

See me after class.
I'm not making a case against the content here, I just really hate crappy journalism.

Unfortunately it kills YOU as WELL. To quote the Dead Milkmen
They say that bleach keeps you young
because people that drink it never get old.
