The Bush administration will conduct the third review within one year of the comprehensive sex education organization Advocates for Youth, prompting the group and a congressman to charge that it is being punished because of its opposition to abstinence-only AIDS prevention programs.
...
"They want to impose a kind of censorship."
The Bush administration, and many conservative groups, have supported abstinence-only programs as the best way to educate children about sexuality and to keep them safe from HIV and AIDS. That position was written as an amendment into the recently signed international AIDS bill, which mandates that one-third of the prevention money from the legislation pay for abstinence education. The amendment, introduced by Pitts, passed the House 220-197 and was incorporated into the Senate bill and passed under rules that barred adding or removing amendments.
