<br/><br/> "SEX, LIES AND POLITICS" -- The author argues that abstinence-only sex education is detrimental to American youth, noting Congress "has been doing everything in its power to prevent comprehensive sexuality education from reaching America's youngsters and to promote, in its place, an educationally limited, fear-based curriculum that preaches 'abstinence unless married.'...Here, sex ed remains a hot political issue rather than a sober matter of public health." (NATION)  "ABSTINENCE ONLY" FUNDING MAY RISE -- "Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson said Tuesday [June 5, 2001] that the administration may seek additional funds for controversial 'abstinence only' sex education programs." (USA TODAY) This article explains how despite opposition from many health experts, the government plans to increase funding for abstinence only sex eduvation programs.
