The End of Federal Funding for Abstinence Only "Sex Ed"

Best News I've Heard All Week : Dispatches from the Culture Wars
This is very good news. Every dollar the religious right's money people have to spend on this is one less dollar they spend on other things. The ridiculous idea of abstinence-only sex ed is finally starting to be turned back. And on this one, let us praise Obama for doing exactly what he promised to do and getting rid of federal funding for this very, very bad policy.
I have never believed that "just say no" was a very effective way to teach kids about sex.
