Just say "no" to spending $130M

I'm just so incredibly surprised that this recent study in Texas proved once again that the wingnut abstinence programs fail miserably despite all of the hype and the taxpayer money. Now if the Dem's were promoting such a pathetic failure with tax dollars, how do you think the GOP would react? Uh huh, it's time to blast these programs and cut the funding. These programs are like snake-oil.

Despite taking courses emphasizing abstinence-only themes, teenagers in 29 high schools became increasingly sexually active, mirroring the overall state trends, according to the study conducted by researchers at Texas A&M University.

"We didn't see any strong indications that these programs were having an impact in the direction desired," said Dr. Buzz Pruitt, who directed the study.
Again, keep in mind this research was done in Texas and we all know what a bunch of lefties they are at Texas A&M.
