Abstinence analysis

It turns out that kids in abstinence only programs are being taught "false, misleading, or distorted information"

Many American youngsters participating in federally funded abstinence-only programs have been taught over the past three years that abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, that half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus, and that touching a person's genitals "can result in pregnancy," a congressional staff analysis has found.

Of the 13 curricula being used, 2 are correct.

God, just thinking about this makes me depressed. Here, read the whole story so you, too, can be bummed.
