No Sex Please, We're Harvard

In the Chronicle of Higher Education, Justin Murray and Sarah Kinsella talk about the Harvard-based, pro-abstinence group, True Love Revolution. (I know—sounds like a '70s disco orchestra, doesn't it?)

On a campus they describe as saturated with casual sex, Justin and Sarah have helped put abstinence on the map. As they prepare to take their commitment to chastity — and each other — off campus, they leave behind a handful of devotees of a countercultural movement that says abstinence is sexy.

Harvard? Saturated with casual sex?

Well, they seem like nice young people, so I wish them luck. But one day, will they grow up and join the next Bush-like administration and start telling the rest of us what we can and can't do?

That's always the concern, of course.
