Abstinence-Only educator discovers link between AIDS, civil rights

Just what kind of expert is attracted to Abstinence-Only funding -- the recipients of which aren't allowed to talk about condoms, except as a menace?

Meet Dr. William L. Bergman, M.D. The good doctor is one of the creators of Free Teens U.S.A., Moon's sex-ed program. With help from a White House grant just under $500,000, its paid professionals spend their time convincing New Jersey schoolkids to reflect upon how sex is just like drinking other people's spit in grotesque classroom exercises.

I've been trying to convey that it's not so much the religious beliefs of the Unification Church that matter--it's the group's clout in Washington as an openly fascist political organization. (If Dr. William L. Bergman thinks the felonious owner of the Washington Times is the Messiah, what business is that of ours?) What is important is that your tax dollars are funding ideas like these:

Dr. William Bergman, once-director of Moon's Unification church, produced a slide program for schools called "The Private Plague: AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Diseases & a Strategy for our Youth at Risk." Bergman's program teaches that these diseases have roots in the "civil rights movement" which allegedly led to "moral relativism." (Clarkson's source: The Private Plague slide program manual, p. 23.)

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."
-- New York Times editorial on the Crown of Peace scandal

"I am happy that our work is being challenged and improved in consistency, openness and coordination, by the accountability your spotlight demands. I am not talking about simply removing stuff from websites..."
-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
