Safe Sex is Failing?

Sex Education without guesswork

The article is reaching out to the staff of the schools and parents all over Texas. This is because the sex education in school is failing to go through the kids head. The author points out that only teaching abstinence is ineffective due to lack of showing the "big picture." To back up that argument, as well as the rest of them, she uses statistics. She also uses the Texas Department of State Health service to state that they believe in the same ideal as she does which pits them against the Board of Education. Although, when the author mentions that health instructors being fired for going beyond abstinence only teaching was really unclear. The author didn't leave a reason why the instructor would get fired for it. I would figure knowing more would be better. After all, knowledge is power. I agree with the author in teaching the danger of unprotected sex because it will let them know what they are getting into. It's like telling a kid they shouldn't do something without telling them a reason. They'll get curious and do it anyways. I would also suggest teaching the struggle after unprotected sex, so they would receive the whole aspect of the consequences.
