Sex at School

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the Bush administrations decision to provide funding to schools for abstinence-only" sex education programs. While there are different opinions, this paper aligns with the view to support an increase in genuine sex education beginning in our public high schools.

From the Paper:

"Although public sex education is as controversial now as it was before the so-called sexual revolution of the 1960's, the focus of the debate has shifted significantly. Most conservatives no longer rally for an end to public sex education, and many parents seem to agree. Nowadays, the argument is not about whether sex should be taught in schools; instead, educators, parents and government officials debate about the content of the courses. Recent laws passed by the Bush administration provide increased funding for "abstinence-only" programs. This move has only exacerbated the debate. Many parents and educators continue to support more informative, and realistic, approaches to sex education."
