"They also have to chip in state money to receive the federal grants."
Oh.
That will leave more money to bail out banks or occupy other countries, I guess.
"States turning down US abstinence education grants; Many doubt program works" by Kevin Freking, Associated Press | June 25, 2008
WASHINGTON - Skeptical states are shoving aside millions of federal dollars for abstinence education, walking away from the program the Bush administration touts for curbing teen sexual activity.
Barely half the states are still in, and two more say they are leaving.
About $50 million has been budgeted for this year, and financially strapped states might be expected to want their share. But they also have to chip in state money to receive the federal grants.
The program [is] based on the congressionally mandated curriculum, which teaches "the social, psychological, and health gains of abstaining from sexual activity." Instructors must teach that sexual activity outside marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects.
Not having sex also results in the same consequences!
The program was created by Congress in 1996 as part of welfare law changes.
Bill fucking god-damn Clinton!
That's why I voted Nader twice in a prior life.
"The funding stream became inconsistent. We didn't know from one quarter to the next whether we'd be getting the rest of the money," said Elke Shaw-Tulloch of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.
Yeah, the only ones who don't seem to have trouble with funding are ISRAEL, the WAR CONTRACTORS and the Pentagon!
Pfffffttt!
Oh, yeah, and about that pregnancy pact; The Boston Globe sticks this item in the middle of a feature on the mayor:
"Gloucester's new mayor suddenly an uneasy target" by Michael Levenson, Globe Staff | June 25, 2008
GLOUCESTER - Yesterday, one of the 17 girls spoke publicly for the first time, calling the quadrupling of the average annual number of pregnancies at Gloucester High a "coincidence."
"There was definitely no pact," Lindsey Oliver, 17, said on "Good Morning America." "There was a group of girls already pregnant that decided they were going to help each other to finish school and raise their kids together."
Time, which reported the pact in its June 18 edition, acknowledged that it had not interviewed any of the girls involved.
