11 Id. 12 In this context, comprehensive sex education is a term of art that means sex education that is specifically geared to include age appropriate, medically accurate, evidence- and rights-based sex education. With that approach, per Carey, states would need a compelling government interest to deny establishing comprehensive sex education in their public schools.[160] The primary argument usually made by these states is that adolescent sex leads to real secular harms.[161] This argument is based on the premise that sex education increases adolescent sex.[162] Since it has been recognized time and again that comprehensive sex education does not lead to increased sexual activity in adolescents, but actually results in delayed sexual activity, that argument would not meet the standard of a compelling government interest. Numerous studies have shown that adolescents who receive no sex education or abstinence-only education tend to engage in sexual activity sooner comprehensive sex education also results in safer future sexual activity since it increases the likelihood of contraception use at first intercourse. For example, whether a sex education program is instructed by a member of the school staff or by a qualified outside organization, such as Planned Parenthood, is an ongoing debate that could be left to state control.[114] However, the fundamental requirement that comprehensive sex education be mandated in all public schools should not be up for debate.

A recent report discusses the limited access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education for adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV in South Africa. The report explores the use of mobile health (mHealth) interventions, specifically a WhatsApp-based program called Interactive Transition Support for Adolescents with HIV (InTSHA), to deliver SRH education to this population. The study found that the InTSHA intervention improved SRH attitudes among participants, particularly in areas such as defining sexuality, discussing sex with caregivers, and feeling comfortable saying no to sex. The researchers suggest that mHealth interventions have the potential to be effective tools for interactive SRH education and should be further developed. [Extracted from the article]

This article discusses a study conducted in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, which aimed to explore the barriers to parent-adolescent sexual-risk communication. The study used a mixed methods approach, with 329 in-school adolescents participating in the quantitative study and 9 parents and 16 adolescents participating in the qualitative study. The findings revealed that some parents had never discussed sex with their adolescents, and barriers to communication were identified from both the adolescents' and parents' perspectives. These barriers included parental factors, individual factors, religious and cultural factors. The study suggests that parents should be trained to provide timely and accurate sexuality education to adolescents in order to address risky sexual behavior. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted in Chile explored fathers' perspectives on the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine and adolescent sex education. The study found that fathers generally lacked knowledge about HPV and the vaccine. While they expressed positive attitudes towards sex education at home and desired more open conversations with their children, traditional gender roles posed barriers to implementing these desires. The research suggests that future sexual health initiatives should focus on gender equity policy change and equip fathers to engage in non-judgmental conversations about sex and sexuality with their children.

Russia since the revolution has been an experimental laboratory in sex relationship. The innovations in family and personal standards under the Communist regime constitute the first deliberate attempt by a modern nation to alter its fundamental sex ideals. The most striking result of the Communist regime in the field of sex life is the complete frankness of the younger generation in Moscow in facing and discussing sex problems. One night last August an outdoor meeting of young Communists was held in Moscow to discuss the problem of abortion. This frankness in public discussion of sex problems probably constitutes a more important contribution to the solution of sex problems than any actual changes that have taken place in Russian family life.

Educators must be part of an all-hands-on-deck response to ensure abortion for those who want and need it, and to defend those who are criminalized for accessing care or performing abortions. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in late June with its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. This framework challenges the depiction of the struggle for abortion access as an individual "choice" and recasts it as part of a larger movement for gender, racial, environmental, and economic justice.

The U.S. federal government has provided some abstinence-until-marriage finding in recent years, but comprehensive sex education and contraception programs are vastly over-funded in comparison. In 2002, abstinence-until-marriage programs received $102 million, while teenage-sex education and contraception programs received at least $427.7 million. In his last budget, President George W. Bush proposed an increase of $33 million for abstinence-until-marriage programs, following upon his campaign promise to try to equalize funding between comprehensive sex education and abstinence programs. Teenagers are greatly influenced by the messages they receive about sex in school. Abstinence is downplayed while sexual activity and condom use are encouraged in these curriculums, because it's assumed that children are eventually going to have sex. Abstinence-until-marriage programs, on the other hand, teach young people to save sex for marriage, and their message has been very effective in changing teenagers' behavior. Today, there are over one-thousand abstinence-until-marriage programs around the U.S. and one-third of public middle and high schools say that abstinence is "the main message in their sex education."
