ACLU Investigates Sexual Abstinence

(Columbus, Ohio) The ACLU is apparently suspicious about sexual abstinence so an investigation has been launched.

The American Civil Liberties Union has asked 31 school districts in Ohio for copies of curricula used to teach sexual abstinence programs so it can review the material for accuracy.

The group's Ohio affiliate sent public information requests to districts last week as part of a project being conducted by the civil rights group's national office, said ACLU of Ohio staff attorney Carrie Davis.

The goal is to examine the content of abstinence education programs paid for with tax money, Davis said. The material also will be reviewed for any separation of church and state concerns, she said.

So, the ACLU is worried about how tax money is spent. Really? Since when?
