The motivation for the Christian Nationalists can be cruelty and control, but sometimes it’s just for $$$.

Keep an eye out for the rebranding of abstinence only sex ed. Apparently NH has not taken funding from those who provide funding for this grift. But they could, and I don’t know what the other states are doing.

“But even without federal funding in New Hampshire, business is still booming for Joneen Mackenzie. Today, her SRA education program is in 47 states, including New Hampshire. “

Paragraphs from the link: Donahue no longer runs WAIT trainings, although she still teaches abstinence education on her own. WAIT training has a new name, "REAL Essentials," and it is run by the Center for Relationship Education (CRE). Like many organizations, CRE does not call its training abstinence education, but has rebranded under a new term: Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA). "The sexual health component in our work is so tiny, and in fact, in some schools, we even take it out because they don't even want to teach sexual health," said Joneen Mackenzie, president of CRE. "They don't want the controversy."
From the link: While Mackenzie says that REAL Essentials is not abstinence education, critics argue that this approach is really just abstinence education in disguise. Not talking about sex or witholding information from teens, some argue, is not education, but an absence of education. Mackenzie disagrees, and calls the binary between comprehensive sex ed and abstinence "unfair." "The soundbite that you can quote me on is: we cannot normalize teen sex... it's not healthy for them. Forget that it's not moral or immoral... that's not an issue. From a nursing perspective, from a public health perspective, if they're involved in teen sex, they're also involved in high risk behaviors.” says Mackenzie
