The birds and the bees is the quintessential "sex talk" that most parents give to their kids when they think the time is right. However, the typical conversation about sex in schools is very different from what most parents prefer. 75% of parents want their children to be taught using the comprehensive sex education curriculum. Only 15% of parents support abstinence-only education (Kelly). Goldman writes in his article, Sex Education, that comprehensive education is much more than many people think. A comprehensive school sexuality education program addresses biological and reproductive knowledge, rational, moral and ethical values, communication skills, decision making, relationship negotiation. skills, socio-cultural understandings and improved self-concept and self-esteem in the context of being a participatory member of a democratic society and a responsible citizen, integrated into an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach and delivered professionally through each year level of school life . Comprehensive sex education is more beneficial to students than any other curriculum because students need to know all this information. With parents supporting such a curriculum, why aren't more schools listening? Children mature faster and need all the information available to them before making a decision. Sex education laws and funding are changing with Barack Obama in office. A recent move by the House of Representatives “passed amendments to the Healthy Act bill that would allow for a more comprehensive approach while maintaining the traditional message of abstinence until marriage” (Clark 1). The REAL Act, the Responsible Education About Life Act, funding programs…at the heart of the document…all aspects of a comprehensive curriculum are taught. Works CitedAdvocates For Youth.
