    This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

    I agree that in many ways our sex education can and should be a lot better. i found this to be insightful thank you, good find!

    Sex education tells the bare minimum and it's normally directed towards the males. I believe that our sex education system should be more about how to be safe, how to protect yourself and others, and it should be more inclusive.

    I agree sex education should be and can be more better. Every one deserves better information and to be more inform.

    I would also have to agree that there is a lack of sex education and it could be better.
  • anonymous on 01 Feb 21
     
    Sex-Ed could be so much better in many parts of the U.S. The fact that states that teach abstinence only have higher rates of unwanted pregnancy shows that the lack of sexual education is detrimental.
  • jaredjimenez09 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I agree with the lack of sexual education in U.S schools. There definitely needs a push to educate the younger generations on how to take care of themselves and prevent problems for them later on.
  • edv2140870 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I took Sex-Ed in high school and it definitely taught me a lot about things I was clueless about but some of the information was very contradicting like stay abstinent but be safe if you do.
  • cel2141812 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I think that Sex-Ed should be available to all students since so many teens just don't know how their bodies work. I've never even had the option to take Sex-Ed, but I think I know enough about it.
  • quintin2133597 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I agree with this article and how students should be allowed to take Sex-Ed in order to be informed of their own bodies. It should also be just as important as keeping the opposite sex safe as well.
  • lauren_ciadella on 02 Feb 21
     
    I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.
  • eli2207490 on 02 Feb 21
     
    It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

This article talks about this new mandate and its implications and the effects that it might have. The article also provides reasons on why it was decided that sex ed should be a required class and its benefits.

    Very interesting! I can honestly see valid points on both sides of the argument. As a parent, I feel it my responsibility to educate my children about sex. However, there are many parents who do not take the time to educate their children. This is a tough situation...not as cut and dry as other topics on this board.
  • kevia18 on 05 Sep 16
     
    I don't think this is a bad idea. I took sex education in middle school and am almost 30 now. I never did understand why it was phased out. Sex is real and can be dangerous and young adults should know all that comes with participating in something so mature.
  • bri2209985 on 25 Jan 17
     
    Sex ed should be a choice for kids to take in accordance to their parents, for myself when I was younger we had to have a signed paper from our parents giving us permission to take part in the sex ed class and for those parents who said no and wanted to teach there kid themselves went to another room. I see both sides to this article and its a very well informative piece.
  • jodibarrett on 25 Jan 17
     
    I think a semester of sex ed would be great. When I was in school it was just a 55 minute lecture with a couple of videos. I understand why some people may be upset with this, however, those people must understand that not every child has an involved parent who are capable or willing to educate their children. I think safe sex is integral for our children to learn. I believe it could help lower the stats of sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancies.

    Getting married matters if same sex couples want to get the same benefits as heterosexual married couples. Couples of the same sex want to marry for the same reasons as heterosexual so why deny them the rights. Here are the benefits same sex couples don't get as a family.
  • Austin Spicer on 02 Sep 13
     
    Denying Same sex marriages of the same rights at opposite sex marriages punishes them and takes away from the freedoms of america. Some examples are inheritance, parenting, housing and insurance. Many companies don't allow same sex marriages to get benefits that others might get.

    Prohibiting gay marriage is unconstitutional discrimination. However others argue that altering the real meaning of marriage between a man and a woman, will weaken a threatened institution and may lead lto polygumous (having more than one wife or husband) and interspecies marriages.

    Should gay marriage be legal? There are many pros and cons to this topic and in our society today it is a huge social justice issue. Should we stick with the traditional way of life where a man and woman get married and have children, or should we branch out and allow everyone the freedom to love and marry whoever they want?

    The market for sex trafficking is in the billions yet, I cannot recall any coverage on the capture and arrest of a sex trafficking ring. It would be helpful to know what progress has been made in curtailing the practice of selling children for sex. I can think of several arrests in the news for smuggling and selling drugs. It bothers me that something this impactful to innocent lives and so detrimental to society does not appear to have any signs of slowing down.

    Nearly half of the people captured for human trafficking are children. If children ever make it out of human trafficking, they have severe physical and mental health issues.

    Sex trafficking has been such a devastating thing that has yet to decline over the years. It seems as if the more time goes on, the numbers increase and not the other way around. 100,000 lives to be taken a year is so saddening. It is such a shame that there is no way even with technology today to decrease these numbers.

    States cannot keep same-sex couples from marrying and must recognize their unions, the Supreme Court says in a ruling that for months has been the focus of speculation. The decision was 5-4. Justice Anthony Kennedy, seen as a pivotal swing vote in the case, wrote the majority opinion.
