Obama removes federal funding for abstinence-only education
Abstinence-only sex education doesn’t work. Countless studies, experts and anecdotal accounts have proven this. Yet billions of federal dollars have been spent on these programs. But, thanks to President Barack Obama, this will no longer be the case: The president not only eradicated abstinence-only-until-marriage funding but also increased funds to more useful programs.
#TECHNICALLY THIS IS JUST OBAMA’S BUDGET REQUEST WHICH WOULD HAVE TO PASS THROUGH THE (REPUBLICAN) CONGRESS #AND IT KINDA FEELS LIKE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT’S DESIGNED TO GET PULLED OFF THE BUDGET TO WRANGLE SOME OTHER DEAL #BUT THIS IS SO SO IMPORTANT OH MAN #POLITICS FOR TS
Reblogging for the correction because I’m a bad person and didn’t read the actual article before the first posting. Thanks to @eponymous-rose for vital clarification!
