Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia.The short explanation of this alert was: Since 1996, Congress has spent over $1.5 billion in taxpayer funds on unproven, ineffective abstinence-only education programs with little oversight or evaluation. These programs employ fear, shame, guilt, and misinformation to discourage teens from engaging in sexual activity. While any good sex education program is rooted in abstinence, the reality is that many teens are already sexually active and need information about responsible decision-making, disease-prevention and contraception. Decisions about sexuality education programs are made at the national, state and local levels. It’s time to demand accountability, responsibility and REAL sex ed from decision-makers at all levels of government! If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
