Long live our glorious leader.

The less well the "abstinence czar" does his job, the happier I am. And, I suspect, the happier the teenagers of America will be.

In other words... You don't know. Randall L. Tobias was the Director of Foreign Assistance, so in as much as we might influence through foreign aid what he called the "ABC" approach - Abstinence, then Be faithful to one partner, and use Condoms. It really had nothing to do with teaching school children anything, and I don't think he had any effect on the abstinence rates in any country.

Put another way, it was a waste of money and a bad appointment. I don't mind abstinence as a method for preventing STD's and pregnancy, as long as it isn't the only method taught.
