Effective Abstinence Education

Robert Rector comments on a new report demonstrating the success of abstinence education programs in the face of the failures of so called “safe-sex” and comprehensive sex-ed programs.  What is most interesting is the response from the New York Times which capitulated to the study with the excuse that these successful abstinence education programs were “freed from the moralistic overtones and ideological restrictions.”  Rector goes on to list three violated non-negotiables that lead to this sort of reaction.
