From the cited article: ``The only 100 percent way to avoid a car collision is not to drive, but the federal government sure does a lot of advocacy for safety belts,'' said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, a group that promotes education about birth control and condom use.
Interesting metaphor. The advocacy cited may be bad for drivers...
I note the "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" -- would you quit drinking at parties just because your mom asked you to? -- seems to have been so successful that they're attempting to legislate restrictions on consumption of alcohol by all ages of consumer -- Carrie Nation Lives! An advocacy group aimed at private behavior of individuals has evolved into an advocate for gov't funded restrictions on public choices ...
I agree that this sort of agenda-pushing by a slim majority upon all schools in all parts of the country is a problem. Until vouchers allow more school choice, homeschooling is the solution.

"Would you quit drinking at parties just because your mom asked you to?"
Ah, but there's a difference. Advocating responsible drinking is different from advocating complete sobriety up until the fictional age of "old enough," or the mutable and uncertain date of your wedding. 21 at least is a real boundary.
