New Texas Study Reveals Serious Flaws in Abstinence Programs
Date:2/24/2009

  • 41 percent of Texas districts use abstinence-only materials with factual errors.
  • Abstinence programs recklessly discourage the use of condoms by insisting that they are ineffective in preventing pregnancy and STDs.
  • Shame- and fear-based instruction is common and equates sex with anti-social behaviors, disease and death.
  • Instruction often promotes stereotypes and biases, including the promotion of rigid and outdated gender roles.
  • Some public schools use religious instruction to promote sexual abstinence.

    • EDITOR'S NOTE: The report and graphics are available online at www.JustSayDontKnow.org.

    The TFN Education Fund is a nonpartisan research organization focusing on public education, religious freedom and civil liberties.
