Texas could soon be a one sided abstinence promoting state if governers get their way.
educators want to promote new text books to young students which make references prodominantly to abstaining from sexual relations, three of the books make no refrences to using contraception and one makes a passing reference to the use of condoms.
unfortunately when Texas recieves new textbook material it spreads nationwide.

When he was governor of Texas, George W. Bush pushed for an abstinence-based sexual education curriculum. He raised his concerns to a national level when he said in this year's State of the Union address: "We will double federal funding for abstinence programs, so schools can teach this fact of life: Abstinence for young people is the only certain way to avoid sexually transmitted diseases."

For example, one textbook under review advises that a good way a teen-ager can prevent a sexually transmitted disease is to get plenty of rest so he or she can have a clear head about sex and choose abstinence.
