The man has been renowned for years for having an extremely hot, hair-trigger temper, to the point where other former military officers who served with him have gone on the record saying they don't want him anywhere near the Big Red Button. (From Alternet)
Harsh words indeed, coming from a former coworker.
And the mess about abstinence-only sex ed isn't restrained to teenagers. In Texas, abstinence-only is the law, and so when you have grown adults going before the judge in child protection cases, the adults in question will get anger management classes, financial counseling, therapy, home dynamics and social work, drug/alcohol treatment, everything BUT contraception and family planning. You know. Abstinence only. It's ludicrous, it's hurtful, and it's absurd, and it's pushed in the name of "children, children, children" without a single thought as to what happens when the children grow up.
