Tomorrow, Class, We'll Study the Stork and Cabbage Patch

Nearly $170 million of your tax dollars are paying for sex education classes laced with false, misleading, or distorted information. A Congressional review of abstinence-only sex education found such claims as:

  • A 43-day-old fetus is a "thinking person"
  • HIV can be spread via sweat and tears
  • Condoms fail to prevent the spread of HIV 31% of the time in heterosexual sex

Other programs claim women who have abortions are more likely to become sterile or commit suicide. (Houston Chronicle)
