Review of Compehensive Sex Education Curricula
This May 2007 government report reveals how the most commonly used sex education programs have virtually no effect in keeping teens from having sex yet contain numerous sexually explicit lessons taught to teens as young as 13. Of the nine commonly used curricula studied in the HHS report, most showed no impact in preventing teen sex, and one failed to even evaluate program effectiveness. All the programs reviewed by the HHS devoted an overwhelming amount of teaching time to topics such as condom usage, condom demonstration and sexual game play as methods of “safe” sex.

Subcommittee Blasts Waxman Efforts to Derail 'Success of Abstinence Education'
The office of Rep. Mark Souder, Chairman of Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources has released a 34 page report discrediting the anti-abstinence assertions made by long time abstinence opponent, Rep. Henry Waxman. "By providing a detailed and well documented analysis of the assertions made in the Waxman Report, the Souder Report exposes the misinformation, biased exaggerations and ideologically driven agenda of the contraceptive sex education lobby," said Mary Anne Mosack of the Abstinence & Marriage Education Partnership. The report strongly states that, "Any objective standard of review should dismiss the Waxman Report as a failed attempt to discredit the success of abstinence education."
