Thanks, WaPo, for this shocker:
A government Web site intended to help parents and teenagers make “smart choices about their health and future” includes inaccurate or misleading information that may alienate some families or prompt riskier behavior, according to a team of medical experts who reviewed the material.
Three physicians and a child psychologist analyzed the Bush administration’s 4Parents.gov Web site and concluded it made many incorrect assertions about condoms, sexual orientation, single-parent households and the dangers of oral sex.
My anger, of course, is not directed at the Washington Post, but at the cretins who continue to peddle this crap to kids. Abstinence-only education is packed with lies — isn’t this about the 10,000 article we’ve read about how it “misleads” young people? It’s about time we started giving young people accurate information about sex and health — you know, something akin to “education.”
