It's a documentary about the "abstinence movement." It comes on again at 4AM Central.

There are some excellent libs on the show fighting against the use of federal funds to spread religious dogma.

Just a heads up.

1. 30 Days on Wed's channel 248 @ 9CST is also worth watching.

3. What's the show about, well other than virgins?
What is the perspective?

The title makes me think that it is a show that I would laugh at.

4. It's about fundies being blessed by the bush administration to...
withhold information from teens who need it by promoting only abstinence.

It was actually very humorous. Much of the show gave the pro-sex-ed counterpoint.

Actually, it made fundies look ridiculously ignorant.

5. Well that seems about right.
Is it a special or a weekly show?

6. It's a one-hour documentary.
It comes on again at 5AM if you can record it. I enjoyed it.
