Ethics laws in this state are weak.

We've known for some time that abstinence-only is bad science, bad policy, and a blatant violation of medical ethics and basic human rights. And as more people find out what is being taught and what is being censored in these ineffective programs, more and more of these 'stay pure or we don't care about you' programs will be banned from public schools.

If the model is River Gardens, it has failed miserably.

If you accept cash, and you call it a campaign contribution, but that money is to buy your vote, I don't see the difference.

Right now we're not exceeding their expectations.
