US chastity crusade gets cool response in secular Britain

My questions on this have little, if anything, to do with "abstinence education". I don't care if some private charity wants to spread it's message, however absurd. My concerns have to do with the Federal government funding (to the tune of $700,000) this organization, headed by one Denny Pattyn, an ordained minister. Is this another of Bush's "faith based" programs?

The 'Silver Ring Thing' tour, which touts the virtues of abstinence, is proving controversial before it has even started.
