Wondering what kind of sex ed programs are receiving federal funding these days? Look no further than this report. The whole thing is a doozy, but my favorite part has to be the examples in section E, "Abstinence-only curricula treat differences between boys and girls as scientific fact." Choice quote: "While a man needs little or no preparation for sex, a woman often needs hours of emotional and mental preparation." Yes, you read that right -- hours. (Thanks to DuVernois Blog for the link.)
