Camille Paglia<\/a> posted an article at Time Magazine<\/a> yesterday entitled, “Put the Sex Back in Sex Ed.” It’s a rather odd concept, but she makes some very worthwhile points.<\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

Fertility is the missing chapter in sex education<\/a>. Sobering facts about women\u2019s declining fertility<\/a> after their 20s are being withheld from ambitious young women, who are propelled along a career track devised for men.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The refusal by public schools\u2019 sex-education programs to acknowledge gender differences is betraying both boys and girls<\/a>. The genders should be separated for sex counseling<\/a>. It is absurd to avoid the harsh reality that boys have less to lose from casual serial sex than do girls, who risk pregnancy and whose future fertility can be compromised by disease. Boys need lessons in basic ethics and moral reasoning<\/a> about sex (for example, not taking advantage of intoxicated dates), while girls must learn to distinguish sexual compliance from popularity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first paragraph is something that was not an issue thirty years ago, the second paragraph involves issues that parents used to handle thirty years ago. Ms. Paglia is looking for a scientific approach to sex education in biology classes and a practical non-agenda driven approach to life issues in single-sex<\/a> classes. This makes sense. Many parents are not telling their children the truth about the emotional and physical cost of abortion or the emotional differences between men and women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please follow the link and read the entire article. This is a very common-sense approach to an issue that has our society needs to deal with in a way that helps our young people grow up to be healthy and productive adults.<\/p>\n
