Politics Gambling on Abstinence Education

An organization that promotes sexual abstinence for teens received a federal grant of over a million dollars, twice what it had requested, despite the skepticism Department of Justice staffers had about the group and the fact that it refused to participate in a congressionally mandated study.So why did the Best Friends Foundation receive the grant from the Justice Department’s juvenile justice office even though dozens of competing organizations were rated higher by the office’s own reviewers? Current and former staffers say it was because of Best Friends’ powerful president and founder, Elayne Bennett.
Not only is Bennett the wife of Bill Bennett, a former Reagan and Bush administration official and conservative political commentator, but she is also personally close to the chief administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), J. Robert Flores.
Where to start?

I'm all out of rage for these people. I mean, I wouldn't expect anything else out of these dirty, corrupt sons of bitches.
And this is the same govt agency that will be distressed when the abstinence kids get pregnant, at which point abortions will increase. Stupidity.
Ahhh. The whiff of corruption. Just say no money grubbing liars.
Disgraceful, but at least it was a pretty small grant. A million would be nice for one person to have, but it won't go very far for any organization.
Hi, this education of gambling is very important Online gambling allows people to play online gambling games through Internet. This is an easy and more affordable version of visiting casinos, which might not be easy for every one of us.
