progMy former home just turned down $161,000 of federal education funds because they're tied to a requirement for abstinence-based sex ed.
A state official on NPR just explained that the decision comes because Maine's teen pregnancy rate has been dropping over the last 20 years, and is now one of the lowest in the nation (really? well, that's what she said); the state is concerned that the praise-jebus approach to sex ed would make it go up again. Hee hee hee I love it.
