Bigoted fantasy

"When's the last time your local Christian youth group stoned somebody to death?

"Hollywood likes to claim their programming simply reflects reality, but the latest episode of 'Cold Case' was an exercise in bigoted, Christophobic fantasy.

"In the Sept. 30 episode of the CBS forensics show, the devoutly religious teens in an abstinence club turn out to be sexually active hypocrites who murder one of their own members — by stoning her ... to keep their sins secret.

"In a ham-handed attempt to influence this fall's congressional debate on abstinence-education programs, the show also depicts abstinence-only education as useless, if not actively harmful.

"Weighing in on public policy, CBS takes some gratuitous slaps at abstinence-only education. The opening scene features a high school 'health' teacher telling her class, 'Now if school policy allowed me to do so, I would tell you how these methods of birth control can be used and what they do. But I cannot. I would be fired.'..."
