The Abstinence Only Clown Show
Joe at Advocates for Youth notes that clowns are always scary:
We currently spend $1.5 billion a year to fund abstinence-only until marriage sex education in our public schools. And yes, that money goes to people like Derek Dye, as he is employed by the Elizabeth New Life Center that received a $800,000 CBAE grant in 2007 to promote abstinence until marriage. His qualifications? A “Bachelor of Fun Arts” from Barnum Bailey Clown College, and an abstinence educator certification that can be purchased for $50.
I long sought a Bachelor of Fun Arts, but the classes were too hard. One of Derek’s maxims is that “Having sex before you are married is just like juggling machetes!” I however, have never found this to be true.
