linkAbstinence-only educators are in Washington trying to keep Congress from cutting back their $176 million program to convince young people that saying no to too-early sex is the best policy.
The programs grew 17-fold when Republicans controlled Congress, from $10 million in 1997 to $176 million this year.
Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation to promote comprehensive sex education instead of abstinence-only curriculums.

When I was in school, we were told that putting sex off was the best policy but if you were going to do it then this is what you should do. After school specials were shown, etc, etc. We also had to have permission slips signed by our parents and if we failed to get them then extra homework during that time was assigned. It seemed to work pretty well for us.
