June 15, 2013 – From the Cassville Democrat – Kornerstone, Inc., of Shell Knob has partnered with Missouri State University to offer the abstinence-focused curriculum Choosing the Best to students at the Cassville and Southwest school districts.

June 3, 2013 – From The Public Discourse – Abstinence education has long been attacked from the left with a creative array of misinformation. Perhaps the most common attack against abstinence education is that it “doesn’t work.” Another top contender is the claim that abstinence education is a thinly veiled program aimed at indoctrinating unsuspecting American children in a biblical worldview; since government resources are used in government facilities, this constitutes a clear establishment of religion and a violation of the First Amendment, or so the argument goes.
March 5, 2013 – From Palestine Herald-Press – For five years, Living Alternatives, a Palestine non-profit organization committed to families facing an unplanned pregnancy, has taught abstinence education classes at Elkhart Middle School to students in grades 6-10.
February 15, 2013 – From onenewsnow.com – Unlike other approaches that focus on contraceptive use, abstinence-centered education promotes primary prevention and teaches vital life skills that empower teens to avoid all risk by choosing abstinence.
