Texas tops in abstinence education

Texas, which views abstinence education as its main policy to combat teenage sexual activity, now receives more money through Title V, a stream of federal funding for abstinence programs, than any other state, more than $4.5 million a year. The Texas Legislature's Education Code not only requires that abstinence be given more attention than any other approach, it allows schools to ignore condom instruction because it does not mention it.
