Too late for Bristol Palin
But good news for the rest of us.
From Time Magazine's Swampland blog:
The President's FY2010 budget was released this morning (you can search through all 1376 pages here) and among the proposed changes it includes is the elimination of Community-Based Abstinence Education (CBAE) funding. Under the Bush administration, CBAE grants went to programs that teach kids the only way to prevent pregnancy and avoid sexually-transmitted infections is to postpone sex until marriage. Budget language explicitly prevented those programs from providing students "any other education regarding sexual conduct."
Have I mentioned how good it is to have a president who actually listens to scientists and acts on the basis of evidence, not just ideology?
