President Obama will be cutting funding for ineffective abstinence-only education. It’s a hell of a boondoggle, supported mostly by the same conservatives who bitch and moan about government spending of course. Abstinence only is a silly way to try and prevent teen pregnancies and STDs, we should be smarter about this issue.

Mostly, these articles are about the PTA's push to promote Parents Speak Up , an excellent resource for parents to use when talking with their children about sexual matters. I'm quite pleased that the dialogue is taking place. Good things come from open dialogue. Sometimes in the...

(It's a slight stretch, but Mr. Blobby did have a couple of novelty hits and so just scrapes in under the remit...) The Daily Mail takes time out of demanding that Stephen Gately's corpse be used as a deadly warning to gays to stop it, in order to revist Blobbyland , discovering that Noel Edmond's playground now lies in tatters. Somewhat oddly, the Mail insists that the place has been destroyed by...

SEX clinics will be set up in all secondary schools - offering pupils free condoms and pregnancy tests. But last night, a Catholic Church spokesman said the plan was”like pouring petrol on a fire”.

Just how stupid are these Senators? It's been proven that abstinence-only education doesn't work. So would someone tell me why two Democrats and all ten Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee voted to restore funding under the guise of "health care reform?" A Senate committee voted Tuesday night to restore $50 million a year in federal funding for abstinence-only education that President...

A Sept. 28 WorldNetDaily article by Bob Unruh follows the lead of Fox News and the Washington Times by uncritically repeating their claims that "radical homosexual activist" Kevin Jennings, President Obama's safe school czar, "violated a state law" by failing to report that when he was a high school counselor, he "was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was...
