Abstinence advocate calls on CBS to apologize
Program ridicules Christians, has hypocrites stone club member
The leader of an organization that advocates abstinence is demanding CBS apologize for portraying Christian members of an abstinence club as sexually active hypocrites who stone another member to death.
"CBS should apologize to America for its reckless episode," said Leslee Unruh, president of National Abstinence Clearinghouse.
"With visibility comes responsibility, and CBS didn't take that into account when airing this tainted show. Abstinence education works."
The episode at issue is of the CBS crime show "Cold Case," which depicts presumably devout Christian teens in an abstinence club as sexually active hypocrites who literally stone a member to keep their sins secret. It aired last weekend.

Anyone wonder why I don’t have network tv in my house?
You’d think with the old networks’ waning relevance they’d try not to offend people. With the inane garbage they spew it may be that they are only trying to corner the left end of the Bell curve.
Haven’t watched network tv for many years. Just watch cable channels, mainly SciFi and the Food Channel.
This story doesn’t surprise me. The few episodes of “Cold Case” that I watched last year were so politically correct that I won’t watch it any more. And the acting is bad as well.
