The American Civil Liberties Union has launched a drive to persuade education officials in 18 states to reject federal government-affiliated abstinence-only programs.
The ACLU, citing data from a December 2004 report by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., claims the programs discriminate against homosexuals, contain too much religious connotation and spread false information, the Washington Times reported.
Maine officials announced they would reject federal abstinence-only funding, becoming the third state to do so. Pennsylvania and California are the other two states that have rejected the funds.
