They want federal curriculum changed

WASHINGTON — Two organizations that promote sex education are taking an unorthodox approach in their fight against federal funding of abstinence-only education programs.

Relying on a little-used law that allows “affected persons” to seek the correction of information disseminated by federal agencies, the groups alleged Tuesday that the abstinence education programs contain erroneous and ineffective information. They asked the Health and Human Services Department to correct it.

The two sex-education organizations, Advocates for Youth and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, support educating youth about contraceptives as a means of avoiding pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

“Turnabout is fair play,” said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth. “We’ll use this and any other tool at our disposal to ensure that youth receive honest and accurate sex education.”
