Studies have demonstrated that comprehensive sexuality education programs reduce the rates of sexual activity, sexual risk behaviors (eg, number of partners and unprotected intercourse), sexually transmitted infections, and adolescent pregnancy.
Hi, good point on the balanced approach. I believe CSE guidelines include both risk avoidance and risk reduction. Abstinence-only education is associated with higher rates of teen pregnancy, so clearly the risk reduction is needed, too. I saw in the Love is Respect site screenshot, for example, “You are not obligated to have sex if you are in a relationship.”
Not everything on the Love is Respect site is bad, which we made it a point to mention. The devil is in the details, though. We think the school can, and must, select better resources.

Yeah, we've heard that one before... there are many dubious studies, but that's a whole 'nother conversation that isn't going to fit into this comment section. If you're interested in a different perspective on CSE, check out this website: https://weascend.org/resource/sexual-risk-avoidance-education-what-you-need-to-know/

I don't want to know what bfcahdi stands for.
We think it probably has to do with the google classroom code.
Can't even find it online, which must mean it's as sinister as it gets. *Hmmmm.*
Yeah, we searched for it too and didn't find anything, although if it's a code used internally in the district, it wouldn't be on the internet.
