Faith Based Sex Education

Well Bush is off on one of his moral crusades to get abstinence only sex education more funds. A nice quote from the article:

Teaching only about abstinence means students will be less able to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, say supporters of comprehensive sexual education.

``The only 100 percent way to avoid a car collision is not to drive, but the federal government sure does a lot of advocacy for safety belts,'' said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, a group that promotes education about birth control and condom use.
On top of that it seems that no one knows which approach is best. All Bush can say is that people desire the programs. It is stuff like this that made me vote for Obama.
