Pro-Gay Youth Sexuality Bill Introduced In Congress
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/021005schools.htm

Legislation was introduced in Congress on Thursday to dull some of the negative effects of the Bush Administration's abstinence only school programs.

The Responsible Education About Life Act would create a grant program administered by the Department of Health and Human Services that would award $206 million per year to states for comprehensive sexuality education.

Currently, states can only receive federal funding for sexuality education if they teach abstinence-only-until-marriage programs that routinely exclude information about contraception and sexually transmitted diseases.


gee, wonder if this dead in the water?

:shrug:
