Groups challenge abstinence-only curriculum

Sex-ed organizations fighting federal funding by relying on rarely used law

"Two organizations that promote sex education are taking an unorthodox approach in their fight against federal funding of abstinence-only education programs. Relying on a little-used law that allows 'affected persons' to seek the correction of information disseminated by federal agencies, the groups said Tuesday that the abstinence education programs contain erroneous and ineffective information. They asked the Health and Human Services Department to correct it."
