HIPREP Youth testify to program effectiveness

The Healthy Intimate Personal Relationship Education Program, funded by a grant from the National Center for Fathering and Together is Better, concluded on December 10, 2008.  Here are comments from some of the youth who attended this program.  Call ULTRA Teen Choice at 202-558-5550 to request prevention services for your organization, church, or group.

"I walked into this program thinking it could teach me nothing I didn’t already know.  This program has taught me things beyond my grasp of knowledge when it comes to relationships and abstinence.  Coming into my teenage years, I feel I’ve been taught what to watch out for and the important 'do’s and don’ts'":  8th grade female; attended 13 sessions.

Like a Virigin

Many news media twisted data to present a biased view stating that abstinence pledges don't work.

The New Fundamentalism
Read about the attack on traditional values by DC School Chancellor Michelle Rhee.
Read the article by Joseph Laconte from the Weekly Standard

From the article: "The attack on his faith looked very much like a proxy for an indictment of traditional views about sexuality and marriage....when education and media elites use their position as a kind of Star Chamber to blacklist groups they don't like, then we've taken a step backward, a step away from pluralism."
