The Consequences of Conscience-Based Sex Education

As Jezebel reported this morning, the Utah Provincial Assembly is preparing to approve a very restrictive and complex sexuality bill that allows schools to choose whether to offer courses or not. The only exception is when a brave student overcomes ignorance or fear and asks the teacher directly. Republican lawmaker Bill Wright acted by looking at the sex education material designed by the Family Planning Association and suggested that abstinence is the only lesson actually needed.

J. Bryan Lowder is Slate's deputy editor and editor of Outward. He talked about life, culture, and LGBTQ issues

"We have disregarded culturally about what we have to teach gender, about making love, about avoiding it, which is intelligent injustice," R-Holden said. "Why do we not tell the truth to them for the first time, are extramarital sexes devastating?"

There is no doubt that this bill is beyond the highest level - some Republican colleagues in Wright have expressed this view - and it is expected to stop in the State Senate. However, if there is the ability to let the school choose whether to provide a sexual health curriculum, such as "excuse clauses" such as excuses to submit a plan to the pharmacist, problems may arise. What if some students receive perfect guidance and other students are overlooked?

When I was a high school student, sex education was a standard part of the curriculum, starting from the fifth grade, using materials appropriate for my age (parents could opt out of their children) and early high school It continued until. In grade 7, you should learn about contraception, but my science teacher refused to teach the course (for unknown reasons). However, as the result was divided into team teachers, my other friends still need to practice putting condoms in bananas, and you will be more happy to tell them about it I can do it. So, I learned about birth control in telephone games on campus. This is a dirty plastic wrap on sex and fruit.

Fortunately, I am getting more accurate information from other sources, but you understand. If a teacher (all teachers) does not give the same basic instructions to all the students, a teenager fills in the gap between them. The misunderstanding concerning contraceptive methods may be more dangerous than without information. Even if you do not like the idea of ​​adolescence you are having sex, please do not rely on a combination of good fortune and "good influence" but know the best understanding of contraception. A good choice - Let them pass. This is only a matter of quality control. Here, as in business, the compliance standard is not an option.

Although sex education is essential, most young people complete sex education programs, have a weak view on sexuality, and do not have sufficient basic knowledge of contraception or safe sex. Instead, teenagers only know that they should not have sex before getting married. Public school's smoking cessation program became very popular as the government provided millions of dollars to schools teaching programs. - Bill Cosby says, "Although sex education may be a good idea at school, I think kids should not do that," Cosby explains. there's only a little. Comprehensive educational experience Sex education in a public school environment is best explained as education on human anatomy, reproductive, sexual intercourse, and other human sexual behavior.

People say sex education tells students how to teach gender, the fact is that sex education allows students to understand sex results and the truth. People may suffer from emotional or spiritual depression, which can lead to suicide. Students were also told that this is only for couples who unite and gave birth to each other. They are also said to become aware of the real purpose of sex when they grow up. In brief, sex education should be taught at school. It is better to think about health than faith, so we should consider the reality. Unethical behavior can not be ruled out and young people can not prevent sex so it is necessary to conduct sex education at elementary school as soon as possible. It is also the only savior whose parents are far away from their children, which is why sex education is needed so that they do not forget the right way.
