This shouldn't be surprising - this is the new broken america - we teach everyone that promises should be forgotten.
Like, say, the promise to get Bin Laden. Now wingers deny that getting UBL was ever important.

Virginity
Among teens who pledged abstinence or virginity until marriage, for example, one study found that almost 90 percent of them broke their vow, and those teens had the same rate of sexually transmitted diseases as non-pledgers.
A 2006 Harvard study found that more than half of adolescents who make such signed, public promises give up on their pledges within one year.
Even more tellingly, three quarters of whose who took the pledge and had sex anyway later denied having made the pledge in the first place!
