Sex education in the United States

the aims national public health goals, research has indicated a growing gap between them and adolescents receipt of sex education. Data from the National Survey of Family Growth, a nationally representative household survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, asked respondents if prior to age 18 they had ever received "any formal instruction at a school, church, a community center or some other place" about a range of sex education topics. During the period 2011–2013, data from the NSFG showed that among adolescents aged 15–19, similar proportions of females and males reported receiving formal instruction, with the share receiving instruction about birth control methods (60% females, 55% males) lower than the share receiving instruction about saying no to sex, sexually transmitted diseases, or HIV/AIDS. Many sexually experienced teens (43% females and 57% of males) do not receive formal instruction about contraception before they first have sex; the share of adolescents receiving formal instruction has been declining. Between 2006-2010 and 2011–2013, there were declines in the proportion of females ages 15–19 who reported receiving instruction on birth control, saying no to sex, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as a decline in the proportion of males who reported receiving formal instruction about birth control. Both males and females reported an increase in receiving instruction on saying no to sex, without being provided information about birth control.

general, teaching some form of sex education is widely supported by the American public, but beliefs on whether or not sex should be only between married people can dictate if local schools teach abstinence only education, or if they include lessons about contraceptives and STI prevention. States in the Southern and Midwestern parts of the United States are likely to believe that sex should only happen within a marriage. They are also the states with the highest percentage of schools teaching abstinence-only sex education. This leads to reduced odds of education on a wide variety of topics and methods for students in those areas that teach abstinence-only education. The Western and Northeastern parts of the United States are likely to include lessons about various methods of engaging in sexual activity and using contraceptives and/or STI prevention tools. States in the Midwest, South, and West are more likely than schools in the Northeast to teach about the ineffectiveness of non-natural birth control methods or just not cover them at all. Despite these differences, most of the United States favors stressing abstinence, via abstinence-only or the abstinence best approach. However, community and regional views on premarital sex are ultimately reflected in whether or not, and to what degree, the methods of practicing safe sex are additionally taught to students. Some varied regional examples are provided below.

health care may include cost, access, healthcare provider bias, and low health literacy, as well as access to sex education (both in receipt and timing). There exist widespread racial, gender and sexual minority status disparities in sexual education. Differing exposure to the information and skills necessary to maintain sexual health, as would be provided in broad-based comprehensive sexual education, may also be a contributing factor to inequities in sexual health outcomes. A recent study demonstrated that young Black and Hispanic men were less likely than young White men to receive instruction on key sexual health topics including HIV/STIs and contraception, both at all and before the first sexual experience. Black young women were less likely than White young women to receive information on contraception prior to initial sexual experience. Racial and ethnic differences in sexual health knowledge may be the result of inequity in receipt of comprehensive sexual health education, leaving youth of color at a greater risk for poor sexual health. Disparities also exist by sexual behavior or orientation. Young men who have sex with men are less likely to receive instruction about STIs or HIV/AIDS, despite the disproportionate burden of STIs on this group. Importantly, sex education generally “centers heterosexual relationships, excluding or pathologizing queer identities and behaviors.”

pro-abstinence movement. Moreover, it wasn't until the 1980s-1990's in which AIDS/HIV was heightened, that abstinence only-education gained widespread attention. People knew what it was and what it was preaching. Abstinence only and sex education plays a big yet controversial role in the outcomes of sexual health of young adults. It largely affects the risk of teen pregnancy as well as STD's. Abstinence only-education is largely against the use of contraceptives and promotes the idea of not having sex outside of marriage. It excludes any sort of discussions in which talk about sexual health and or healthy relationships. Sex before marriage is seen as immoral and makes sure that their message is evident and clear for the younger audience, ones who are just now initiating in sexual activity. It teaches teens that not participating in any sort of sexual activity until marriage is the only morally and safe choice of route to go as sex before marriage is seen as immoral. Many people believe this is correct because it will prevent any sort of unexpected pregnancies. Other people argue that it is based on religious beliefs rather than scientific evidence. Additionally, they believe that it provides and promotes inaccurate information that reduces the overall sexual health of teens.

asked for their opinion regarding curriculum options, the majority group, 40.4%, supported comprehensive sex education (CSE), 23.2% favored abstinence-only, and 36.4% supported "abstinence-plus". Similar to CSE, "Abstinence-plus" sex education includes information about contraception and condoms; however, this information is presented in the "context of strong abstinence messages", such as reinforcing the importance of faithfulness. When asking about the inclusion of individual topics, the survey found that 72%-91% of parents supported high school education which included birth control and condom education in addition to communication skills, human anatomy/reproductive information, abstinence, HIV, STIs, and gender/sexual orientation issues. When asked about individual topics to be taught in middle school, 62%-91% of parents supported the previously listed topics. Parents were also asked about sexuality education topics being taught in elementary school, and 89% supported the inclusion of communication skills, 65% supported education on human anatomy and reproductive information, 61% supported the inclusion of information about abstinence, 53% supported information on HIV, and STIs and 52% supported education about gender and sexual orientation issues.

young LGBTQ+ children lacking support in their home environments will suffer significantly as teachers and counselors can no longer offer assistance and comfort. All discussion involving topics of gender and sexuality is wholly prohibited from kindergarten through third grade. Instruction on how these topics should be administered to students remains vague, with the only clarification that it must be age and developmentally appropriate according to government statements. Any violation of the bill is considered a warrant for prosecution with financial consequences covered by the school in question. The bill initially included clauses that required schools “out” students associating with the LGBTQ+ to their guardians. These clauses have since then been removed by Representative Joe Harding. President Joe Biden has criticized the act and pledged to support its removal. Supporters of the bill claim that including LGBTQ+ topics in schools' curricula is a form of grooming, and its removal empowers parents to be more involved in their children's upbringing. Dissentients of the bill argue that the criminalization of LGTBQ+ education and the labeling of “grooming” is discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender.

programs fail to discuss the diversity of human sexual activities that do not fit inside the "norm". The study also suggested that these programs can portray girls as sexual victims and evoke such popular phrases as "boys will be boys" when discussing sexual assault and rape, leading students to believe that girls should be more responsible in order to avoid sexual assault. Other studies, such as Karin Martin's article "Gender Differences in the ABC's of the Birds and the Bees: What Mothers Teach Young Children About Sexuality and Reproduction" explore the different ways adolescents learn about sexuality from various sources, such as the media, religion, and family culture, specifically parents. This study asserts that gender roles, while introduced at very early ages, are emphasized and reinforced at adolescence. Paul Dale Kleinert also conducted research regarding this topic. His 2016 dissertation reviews the ways that school based sex education is rooted in societal structures such as gender roles, but the type of program, comprehensive, abstinence-only, or abstinence-plus, can greatly affect how strict and/or how traditional gender roles within sexuality are portrayed.

so that they can make an informed decision about their own sexual activity and health. Approximately 2/3 of the 48 comprehensive programs that supported both abstinence and the use of condoms and contraceptives for sexually active teens demonstrated positive effects. According to Emerging Answers 2007: Research Findings on Programs to Reduce Teen Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Diseases by Douglas Kirby, Ph.D., “Over 40 percent of the programs delayed the initiation of sex, reduced the number of sexual partners, and increased condom or contraceptive use; almost 30 percent reduced the frequency of sex (including a return to abstinence); and more than 60 percent reduced unprotected sex”. Studies have shown that the comprehensive programs work for youth population across the spectrum. Inexperienced, experienced, male, female, the majority of ethnic groups, and different communities all benefited from this type of curriculum. Yet unlike its counterpart, comprehensive sex education programs are ineligible for federal funding due to mandates against educating youth about contraception (Advocates For Youth).

heteronormative Christian ideals of the 1970s and 1980s that wanted public schools to have a focus on the teachings of the bible. This specific avenue for sex education was given more relevance by the idea that sex- education that focused on reproductive health (i.e. Condoms, hormonal birth control) was promoting a fast and loose attitude about teenagers having sex. As opposed to providing resources for teens to engage in sexual activity, the abstinence only movement focused primarily on ways to avoid sexual pressure and express the perceived benefits to abstaining. As of right now, thirty eight out of the fifty states provide sex education and thirty of those thirty eight have a focus on abstinence at least until the end of the students teen years, some even promoting the abstaining of sexual activity until marriage.

Prevention programs rarely discuss adolescents' social and emotional concerns regarding sex.... Discussion about potential negative consequences, such as experiencing guilt or feeling used by one's partner, may lead some adolescents to delay the onset of sexual behavior until they feel more sure of the strength of their relationship with a partner and more comfortable with the idea of becoming sexually active. Identification of common negative social and emotional consequences of having sex may also be useful in screening for adolescents at risk of experiencing more-serious adverse outcomes after having sex. 1446:

well as more reported cases of teenage pregnancy. This problem does not occur as frequently for LGBT students who are in enrolled in public schools with programs that cover LGBT sexual issues in their sex education courses. Additionally, LGBT students who do not receive specialized sex education are more likely to search online in order to seek additional resources in order to learn more about their sexuality or identity, which may not be safe or factual. Often, young LGBT students will learn about their sexualities from finding pornographic movies on the internet. The inclusion of LGBT curriculum in sex education courses has also been shown to decrease bullying of students who identify as LGBT in United States public schools.

In 2012, state legislature advanced Senate Bill 3310, otherwise known as the "Gateway Law," to enforce abstinence only sexual education and limit the information given to students by educators that encourage sexual activities with penalties of $ 500 if done. More recently, in 2017, state legislature passed Senate Bill 1510 to provide intervention, treatment, and prevention of child sex abuse.

Comprehensive sex education curricula are intended to reduce sexually transmitted disease and out-of-wedlock or teenage pregnancies. According to Emerging Answers 2007: Research Findings on Programs to Reduce Teen Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Diseases by Douglas Kirby, Ph.D., "a large body of evaluation research clearly shows that sex and HIV education programs included in this review do not increase sexual activity – they do not hasten the onset of sex, increase the frequency of sex, and do not increase the number of sexual partners." 1057:

Furthermore, in the article, “Abstinence-only and Comprehensive Sex Education and the Initiation of Sexual Activity and Teen Pregnancy” it shows that adolescents who have received sex education were significantly less likely to report teen pregnancy than those who received no formal sex education. It concluded that teachings about contraception did not have to do with increased risk of adolescent sexual activity or STD's. Teens who receive sex education had a lower risk of pregnancy and less of an urge to engage in risky behaviors. Abstinence-only education is associated with the

Education. According to Kendall, this debate pertains mainly to which style of teaching is most "effective" and "appropriate" for adolescents in both private and public schools. The debate itself consists of each side continuously criticizing the other for not reducing rates of unplanned pregnancy, transmission of STIs, and for not postponing first sexual activity in students. These criticisms are generally dealt in the form of studies conducted or sponsored by Abstinence-Only or Comprehensive advocates, with the intent of once and for all convicting the other side of ineffectively educating.

This includes prevention of discussing queer sex education for all students that attended public school in these states. The 2012 Bill 229 was passed through the Tennessee House Education subcommittee. Later in 2013 Senator Stacey Canfield amended the campaign with Bill 234 to allow personal discussions on homosexuality and gender non-conforming issues with teachers and guidance counselors; however, it mandated the reporting of students’ sexual identity to the parents after these conversations occurred.

with decreased use of condoms and birth control. Because of this association, the researchers concluded that these stereotypes "undermine adolescent sexual health". Research by Paul Dale Kleinert found that abstinence-only programs most often did not include information about sexual orientation or gender identity. Additional research by Jillian Grace Norwick conducted in 2016 found that in interviews with female college students who had abstinence-only sex education, participants commonly reported that they received messages about sexual "purity" aimed at girls.

The survey demonstrated popular support for comprehensive sex education; the odds of parents who favored CSE as a more effective method for sex education than abstinence-only curriculum were 14.3 to 0.11. The survey revealed that parental for the inclusion of specific individual topics in school-based sex education was also high, ranging from 98.6% to 63.4%. The majority of parents also felt that school-based sex education should begin in middle school, or earlier.

The survey found that 64% of the 11% of respondents who supported abstinence-only curriculum cited absolutist reasons, such as purity-based morality concerns, as the basis for their preference. Of the CSE supporters, 94% cited at least one of the following three reasons; "those focused on the consequences of actions, on the importance of providing complete information, on the inevitability of adolescents' engaging in sex."

Kendall articulates that amongst other factors, the debates have detrimental impacts on both teachers' and students' experiences in the sex education classroom.

The study also found that students who took part in the abstinence-only programs were just as likely to use contraception when they did have sex as those who did not participate. Abstinence-only education advocates claim the study was too narrow, began when abstinence-only curricula were in their infancy, and ignored other studies that have shown positive effects.

Parents want the ability to teach their children what they want about sex education rather than school programs teaching them of certain things that parents are trying to avoid.
