How Surprising...

NPR's Rachel Martin reports on the Bush Administration's subsidies for faith-based programs, including, *trumpet sounds* abstinence-only education! Must be because it's so effective!

Here are the specs:

"$191 million for abstinence education. That's an increase of $28 million over last year. The money would be used to make additional awards to community-based programs that teach and encourage abstinence among adolescents ages 12 to 18. Of all the faith-based grant programs, this could be the most controversial."
