Wake County, NC, sex education hearing
600 people attended a public hearing to debate sex education policies in Wake County, North Carolina, on Monday. The crowd included supporters of both abstinence-only and comprehensive sex education. After seven years of abstinence-only format, school administrators now "propose revising the abstinence-until-marriage curriculum in grades seven through nine to provide updated information about sexually transmitted diseases and the effectiveness of contraceptives, as well as adding discussions on diversity and tolerance," which has the local fundis up in arms.
