Obama Cuts Funding For Abstinence Only Sex Ed
Oh Happy Day! With Bush out the White House, funding for abstinence only sex-ed in American public schools has finally been cut, due to being demonstrably counterproductive. After two presidential terms of this teen pregnancies in the US are at a 15-year high [source]. I never imagined academic studies, reason or sense could affect a political issue that involves people's two greatest emotional buttons: children and sex. Obviously teens aren't children, but the law doesn't see it that way.
As digger bsmang writes:
Very awesome. Abstinence-only education is simply ineffective. Maybe children will finally receive useful and appropriate information about the consequences of being sexually active and how to keep themselves safe and non-pregnant in the event that they should happen to entertain their natural urges...
And it's wonderful to see the side of intelligence be triumphant over that of stupidity. Needs to happen more often.
For their part, the religious lunatic fringe behind all this are repairing to their convention in Puerto Rico, no doubt to ponder which socially conservative congressmen might try to sneak funding for them in exchange for some shiny new dentures and a cake.
And now to 4chan for dispatches from the front:
I've no idea who to attribute. Whoever made this, you rock.

What is everybody trying to do? So what is Obama advocating abstinence? Or Sex Ed. What does he mean by cutting costs? A volley of questions that’s all that there is before me, because I am flabbergasted. Why is he cutting funds for this project? Isn’t it important that our children understand this concept. If this creates at least one less teenage pregnancy isn’t it a big achievement? posted: 2010-07-19 15:25:15 |

It tells us when we have eaten enough. Cocaine, when one looks at a person who takes cocaine, then we say how this person can only take cocaine. This improves the immune system. website: http://onlineprintingreview.lefora.com/2010/02/13/vistaprint-review posted: 2010-09-1 22:36:04 |
