	Sex Education that Works
		Sex education, which is sometimes called sexuality education or sex and relationships education, is the process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy.
		Sex education seeks both to reduce the risks of potentially negative outcomes from sexual behaviour like unwanted or unplanned pregnancies and infection with sexually transmitted diseases, and to enhance the quality of relationships.
		Sex education that works, also helps equip young people with the skills to be able to differentiate between accurate and inaccurate information, discuss a range of moral and social issues and perspectives on sex and sexuality, including different cultural attitudes and sensitive issues like sexuality, abortion and contraception.

	NPR : Sex Education in America
		Although there may be some disconnect between the breadth of sex education Americans want taught and what is actually taught in many places, parents whose children have taken sex ed generally like their school's program.
		And in spite of the fact that only 15 percent of Americans say they want abstinence-only sex education in the schools, 30 percent of the the principals of public middle schools and high schools where sex education is taught report that their schools teach abstinence-only.
		Historically, the impetus for sex education in schools was teaching children about avoiding pregnancy and keeping them safe from sexually transmitted diseases, but many parents say they are more worried about the effects of sexual activity on their child's psyche.

	Discovery Health :: Sex Education
		Sex education developed in response to various studies showing high rates of teen involvement in sexual activity (75 percent by the college years) and low rates of contraceptive use and knowledge about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
		Consistently, sex education has been found to increase teenager knowledge about sexual issues, provide modeling and practice to enhance interpersonal skills relative to sexual behavior, and reinforce appropriate values, but most approaches have not had the desired impact on actual sexual behavior or contraceptive use.
		Studies show that sex education is most effective when it is implemented prior to the onset of sexual activity, and when it combines both abstinence and contraceptive information.

	AAUW - Position on Single-Sex Education
		In November 2006, the U.S. Department of Education issued Title IX regulations to ease limits on single-sex education, which allow the exclusion of students from classes based on gender.
		Unfortunately, that is the insidious implication underlying much of the recent assaults on Title IX that are in turn fueling erroneous notions of a "boy crisis." AAUW is proud of women and girl’s achievements and believes policies and reforms that allow women and men to excel are beneficial for society as a whole.
		AAUW is particularly concerned that the new single sex education regulations may cross a constitutional line when it comes to Title IX.

	Sex Education
		Sex education is being promoted primarily by people who are most often liberalists and who frequently have anti-family and pro-homosexual-rights feelings.
		The biggest problem with the views promoted in sex education these days is that they don't stress the best and most effective method for the prevention of either pregnancies or STDs, that is to abstain or to remain chaste.
		Sexual taboos and sex laws are routinely broken, thus all such taboos and sex laws should be eliminated, including that of rape and child rape, unless serious "force" is used and serious harm is proven.

	WorldNetDaily: Surreptitious sex education
		These "guidelines" represent the foundation of comprehensive sex education (also known as "abstinence-first" or abstinence-plus-condoms sex education) developed by the Sexuality Information and Educational Council of the United States in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control, the National School Boards Association, Planned Parenthood and others.
		Even though I've been warning parents about this attack on their children for years on my radio program, it seems to come as a surprise to so many parents that their children are being exposed to values-free, medically and psychologically risky and inappropriate sexual behaviors and "freedoms" – often without parental knowledge or consent.
		Parents who call and write to me about sex education in their schools are horrified at not only the curriculum, but the stealth approach taken – keeping them out of the loop by the educational authorities.
