The Foster Letter, Mar 10, 2003 (page 1) Topic: ABSTINENCE

A new Zogby International poll reports that parents support abstinence-based sex education and 75% disapprove of the condom-based sex education curriculum promoted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 61% also disapprove of the "comprehensive" sex education presented in the classroom as well. Seventy percent strongly disapprove of their teens getting contraceptives without their permission and 46% are against schools giving teens contraceptives even with the approval from "a parent." Survey results can be found at www.whatparentsthink.com.
