I love how our glorious leaders squawk about social programs wasting taxpayer money, only to turn around and implement a big, stupid social program -- abstinence-only education -- that costs $170 million. A paltry sum compared to the Iraq war, for sure, but why do I get the sense that lots of useful programs are being cut because there's "not enough money in the budget"?
Abstinence-only education is crazy. CRAZY! Unless you're
for unwanted babies and genital warts. Perhaps this is all just a sop to the genital wart cream industry.
No, we all know it's a sop to the Puritanically Correct. And since abstinence-only education has no rational or scientific basis, I think we can safely call it a clear violation of the separation of church and state.
What WILL They Do with All That Money?
