Friday, April 13, 2007 Is this really surprising? An article at MSNBC reports that abstinence students are still having sex. So someone please tell me the return on investment of all that government money funnelled into these programs. Couldn't the money have been better spent on...you know...real education? From the article: "Students who participated in sexual abstinence programs were just as likely to have sex a few years later as those who did not, according to a long-awaited study mandated by Congress. "Also, those who attended one of the four abstinence classes reviewed reported having similar numbers of sexual partners as those who did not attend the classes, and they first had sex at about the same age as their control group counterparts — 14.9 years, according to Mathematica Policy Research Inc. "The federal government now spends about $176 million annually on abstinence-until-marriage education. Critics have repeatedly said they don’t believe the programs are working, and the study will give them reinforcement. " Labels: Potpourri
