The Politics of Virginity

Více o knize

Focusing on the impact of abstinence-only sex education, the authors reveal its prevalence in public schools and the significant federal funding it receives despite widespread opposition. They argue that such programs are ineffective, as students do not demonstrate higher rates of abstinence compared to those in comprehensive education. Additionally, the authors highlight how these programs reinforce harmful gender stereotypes, spread medical misinformation, and challenge the principle of church-state separation, calling for a reevaluation of sex education policies.
