Emotional Education
A group of about 50 parents of students at DeKalb, Ga., schools showed up at a meeting to protest the adoption of an abstinence-only sex education policy, saying kids need more information about contraception and disease prevention. The parents included doctors and infectious disease experts from Emory University and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, both of which are in the vicinity. “We feel passionate about the issue of sex education,” says parent Tanya Cassingham, an Emory AIDS research coordinator. “We have tried fear-based programs in the past.” Cassingham points out that the programs have not been peer reviewed by qualified researchers to ensure they actually work. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) ...Certainly “Just Say No” will work with kids, as Nancy Reagan already proved.
