Your tax dollars at work - $1 billion for "abstinence only education"

From Reversing The Sexual Revolution in The Washington Monthly:

Since 1996, thanks to the Republican addition of Section 912 to that year's welfare reform bill, the federal government has spent over a billion dollars funding "abstinence only" sex education programs for teens. Recently, however, the Bush administration rewrote the rules so that programs can only get funding if they promote avoidance of sex at any age until you're safely ensconced in a traditional marriage of one man and one woman.

That's ONE BILLION DOLLARS, folks ... IN YOUR COUNTRY, to promote, and they hope (hopelessly, I hope), enforce this stupidity.
