Finally. State officials have realized abstinence only until marriage programs don't work. And they’ve rejected half a million in federal funds that have supported such programs.  No big loss for comprehensive sex ed programs because in order to accept abstinence only funds, there can be no overlap in programs.
 
This decision simply means that Colorado’s elected officials recognize the importance of comprehensive sex ed programs, including, but not limited to abstinence.

This decision makes Colorado the 14th state to pass up money for abstinence-only education funds.
