He's getting his information from the Heritage Foundation. They could have published it yesterday and it wouldn't be credible.

Center for Law and Social Policy's "To Have and To Hold: Congressional Vows on Marriage and Sex

http://www.clasp.org/publications/have_and_hold.pdf

[excerpt]

The federal law stipulates eight points that define what can and cannot be taught in an abstinence-unless-married education program5(see sidebar on next page). Broadly, the funds are for programs that teach that abstinence is the only correct sexual behavior outside of marriage. A program using these funds may not teach about other methods of effective contraception or how to use contraceptives to avoid sexually transmitted diseases, even in preparation for marriage. The eight-point definition does not require that funded abstinence programs must be medically accurate. Nor is there a legislated mechanism for federal review of curricula utilized by local programs. As shown by Congressman Henry Waxman’s (D-CA) recent review of the 13 most utilized curricula, this makes it more likely that federal dollars are used to fund medical inaccuracies (and other inappropriate messages).6In fact, the Waxman report found that 11 of the 13 curricula contained inaccuracies and misleading information. For example, one curriculum conveyed that HIV could be transmitted through tears and sweat. Another erroneously teaches a pregnancy occurs one out of every seven times that a couple uses condoms; yet another falsely asserts that 5-10 percent of women who have legal abortions will become sterile.

Some Abstinence Programs Mislead Teens, Report Says

[excerpt]

Many American youngsters participating in federally funded abstinence-only programs have been taught over the past three years that abortion can lead to sterility and suicide, that half the gay male teenagers in the United States have tested positive for the AIDS virus, and that touching a person's genitals "can result in pregnancy," a congressional staff analysis has found.

Aside from a CONGRESSIONAL REPORT, if you do a simple Google search, you will find many, many more.

Google is my best friend dear. That and Lexis-Nexis.

And I have already searched both.

Post a credible source for once and maybe I will. But you're incapable of doing so.

And the best you could come up with was garbage from the Heritage Foundation?
