Abstinence-Only Education

Federal
support for abstinence-only education is being debated in
Congress, with crucial votes on appropriations for the program
expected in the Fall. NCAC and other organizations endorsing
the Joint Statement
Against Abstinence Education
are renewing their efforts
to educate lawmakers and the public about the First Amendment
issues raised by this form of censorship of sex education
in public schools.

Copies
of NCAC’s publication, containing the Joint Statement against
abstinence education and reasons why First Amendment supporters
should oppose federally-mandated abstinence-only education,
are available upon request, free of charge.
