yes. absolutely.

With that said, the man's character and mission

his character? maybe not - i dunno enough about him to say.

his mission? as related to abstinence-only education - there's too much data out there that shows abstinence-only education results in increased rates of teen pregnancy for me to agree that abstinence-only education is effective at reducing the amount of sex among teens or reducing the rate of teen pregnancy. if his mission is to prevent teen sex or reduce the amount of teen pregnancy i think he may want to consider some alternative to abstinence-only education. like maybe sex education encourages abstinence but also informs teens about birth control and safer sex, generally.
