		Sexual harassment of students is prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 under the circumstances described in the Guidance.

		Because of the importance of eliminating sexual harassment in schools, and based on the requests of schools, teachers, parents, and other interested parties, OCR determined that it should provide to schools a comprehensive discussion of the legal standards and related issues involved in resolving sexual harassment incidents.

	Jan Steutel and Ben Spiecker - Good Sex as the Aim of Sexual Education
		However, sexual education is not merely an aspect of moral education, it also relates to the development of ideas about nonmorally good sex in a nonmorally good life.
		As educators, our aim should not only be that the child acquires beliefs about the possible intrinsic value of sexual activities and experiences, the main point is that we make sure that such valuations are rooted in rational preferences.
		Regarding the nonmoral good, then, sexual education cannot consist in imposing general demands; the aim will have to be adjusted to the specific talents, possibilities, needs and desires of the individual child.

	SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION POLICY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sexual behaviour which is premature or ill considered, can lead to personal unhappiness, confusion and problems in later relationships, as well as the more obvious risks of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
		In a context of earlier physical maturation, wide media attention to sexual behaviour, family breakdown and rising statistics on teenage conceptions and sexual disease there is an understandable demand for a response from schools and education authorities, albeit only as one of many important contributors in a complex campaign.
		Sexual health education should be set out in a whole-school policy and should be delivered within the context of a general school approach to health and well-being, as best exemplified by the concept of the Health Promoting School.

	Sex Education
		Where the question was once whether or not sexual education should be taught in public schools, the fray now questions the methodology of what is being taught.
		The sexual education of adolescent children is presented to parents as a necessary and legitimate course of study.
		More importantly, perhaps if administrators present a more dignified and academic approach to the delivery of sexual education, complete with test and grades, it may just impress upon our children that they should view sex a serious part of their human development rather than a recreational activity.

	Sex Education: Vatican Guidelines
		Such an education in chastity is not, and cannot be, confined to, or chiefly characterized by, the imparting of mere “information,” however true — this is probably the least important aspect of effective education in chastity, in fact.
		Human sexuality is a sacred mystery and must be presented according to the doctrinal and moral teaching of the Church, always bearing in mind the effects of original sin.
		In the framework of educating the young person for self-realization and self-giving, formation for chastity implies the collaboration first and foremost of the parents, as is the case with formation for the other virtues such as temperance, fortitude, and prudence.

		Erlich's triumph is the way in which she transcends the politics of motherhood by rendering a convincing portrayal of the reciprocities between Wharton's experiences of mothering (and fathering) and her art.
		Starting with the tensions in the early family constellation, Gloria C. Erlich traces Edith Wharton's erotic evolution--from her early repression of sexuality and her celibate marriage to her discovery of passion in a rapturous midlife love affair with the bisexual Morton Fullerton.
		Analyzing the novelist's life, letters, and fiction, Erlich reveals several interrelated identity systems--the filial, the sexual, and the creative--that evolved together over the course of Wharton's lifetime.
