comic failure of abstinence, - 95% of Americans have sex before marriage - it is time for the United States exceeded its suspended

Although most young Americans continue to learn about sex everywhere, but especially at school, there is some good news: According to a recent report by the Sexuality Information and Council Education United States (SIECUS), the Obama administration and Congress in 2010 to eliminate two-thirds of federal funding for abstinence-only education until marriage, and a historic shift, spent about $ 190 million for comprehensive sex education.
