Abstinence-only sex education has been an utter failure. It doesn't work, and in fact, there is evidence that it actually make things worse: "States that don't require comprehensive sex ed classes are the same ones that struggle with high rates of pregnancies and STD infections. A large body of evidence has discredited abstinence-only education." (Source) And yet, federal funding has been supporting this nonsense for years: "The Title V State Abstinence Education Grant Program allocates federal dollars to support programs that advocate abstinence from sex until marriage, and does not permit any discussion of contraceptive methods other than to emphasize their failure rates." (Source) A group of House Democrats is trying to change this. They have introduced a measure, HR 3774 that would end federal funding for states that run abstinence-only education programs in public schools. Take action, and tell Congress to support HR 3774. It makes no sense to keep throwing money at ideologically driven nonsense that not only doesn't work, but makes things worse. Take action, and tell Congress to support HR 3774.
