Students may snicker in class, but to parents and the 81,000 teachers involved, “sex ed” is no laughing matter. To the delight of conservatives, Congress appropriated more than $100 million for abstinence-only education programs in 2003. Supporters heralded the move for they blame comprehensive sex education for increases in teenage sex and pregnancy. Opponents deride the policy shift as dangerously simplistic and naïve. They argue that teens have always been sexually active, will continue to be so, and, in an age of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, that “just say no”, just isn’t enough.

"There are only two reasons why any child decides to give up something he wants to do or to do something he doesn’t like. One is fear, and punishment is the enforcer. The other is the wish to please someone important, and love is the enforcer. ... The important question is which predominates .... When it is love, self-discipline builds the structure of consciousness."
