But Why Would HUSSEIN Obama Do That?
Because fuck you. And you. And you... literally.
That's why.
...Will spend Tax $$ on preaching & teaching promiscuity to teenagers instead.

WASHINGTON (BP)--President Obama's proposed budget for 2010 would eliminate federal funding for abstinence education programs in public schools, replacing them with so-called comprehensive sex education programs that promote the use of condoms and other contraceptives among the nation's teenagers.
Under the plan, released May 7, Obama would cut more than $100 million in spending on abstinence-only education and create a new $110 million "teen pregnancy prevention initiative." Another $50 million would be directed to states for pregnancy prevention programs that rely on condoms.
Valerie Huber, executive director of the National Abstinence Education Association, told Baptist Press the new proposal does not make sense.
"As you know, teen births are starting to inch up again and STD rates are continuing to be at an epidemic level for teens, with at least one in four teen girls having at least one STD," Huber said. "Why would we at this time in particular take away anything that would provide teens with the skills to avoid that risk? It just doesn't make sense at all."
A report from the Department of Health and Human Services in December said that for every dollar being spent on abstinence education, $4 was being spent on comprehensive sex education in the nation's public schools.
