        RE: “Some states abstaining (from federally funds mandating abstinence-only education)”

        I want the teaching of sexual values left to parents.

        I don’t like abstinence-only lessons in which kids are told to chew on the same piece of gum to convey that sex spreads germs.

        I also don’t like sex-ed in which all the kids are given cucumbers and told to put condoms on them.
