Author Description

Sex Ed for caring schools presents a curriculum that goese beyond the typical health education most students receive today. As part of a critical pedagogy movement that connects education to social justice enterprises, this book and the corresponding online curriculum encourage students to talk, write, and think about the moral and relational issues underlying sex in society today. Addressing the real concerns of today's teens, this book includes lessons on pornography, media objectification, religion, and stereotypes.--Page [4] of cover.
