Sex education has been a hot topic in the government and schools for years: do we teach abstinence-only, which includes inaccurate scientific information and scare tactics, or comprehensive sex education, which discusses condoms and, *gasp*, sex.

According to an Associated Press article released today, more states are dropping funding for abstinence-only education, and it’s sending a message.
