Why?

Why do conservatives and the President and Addict's Administration fight knowledge?
The federal government's "no sex without marriage" message isn't just for kids anymore.
"They've stepped over the line of common sense," said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit that supports sex education. "To be preaching abstinence when 90% of people are having sex is in essence to lose touch with reality. It's an ideological campaign. It has nothing to do with public health."
