    Essay On Abstinence Education

    The Affordable Care Act aims to increase the quality and affordability of healthcare and has a goal to improve healthcare both technologically and clinically. One of the improvements includes the restoration of funding of abstinence education in the school system. The abstinence-only education has both pros and cons, but the main goal is to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Now that schools have adopted sex education programs, the next step is to guarantee that these programs remain effective and the pregnancy as well as the infection rates remain…

    Condom Dispensors

    “Half of the 40,000 of the new HIV infections each year occur to individuals under the age of 25. That means that an average of two young people are infected with HIV every hour of every day.” (2) “In the United States, 45.6 percent of high school students and 79.5 percent of college students ages 18-24 have had sex. The average age at first marriage is 28.6 for men and 26.6 for women.” (3) Knowing these two statistics is important before choosing which side of the fence to belong to. The issue at hand is that Camden County College has decided to install condom dispensers within the campus bathrooms. A percentage of our population feels as though this encourages our students to explore sexual intercourse. However, they are wrong, and I will explain to you why it is an absolutely outstanding course of action to install the condom dispensers.…

    “Condoms: the New Diploma”

    In the after math of the AIDs scare of the late 80’s, school board officials sought to create a health class curriculum that would cover sex education. This was a hot topic in the 90’s and it brought about the questions of sex education and whether it is the schools responsibility or the parents to educate their children. In Rush Limbaugh’s “Condoms: The New Diploma”, from his 1992 book titled The Way Things Ought to Be, Limbaugh claims that condom distribution promotes sexual activities in teens. Though Limbaugh provides readers with compelling arguments, readers can easily refute him and discredit his evidence.…

    A Prryhic Victory Analysis

    For years there has been the never-ending controversial issue regarding condom being distributed within the United States high schools. January 8, 1994, Anna Quindlen publishes her article, “A Pyrrhic Victory,” in the New York Times, where she states that not allowing condoms to be distributed in high schools is self-defeating, harmful to students, and inconvenient for parents. Quindlen attempts to persuade readers, but is not completely successful.…

    Condoms In Texas High Schools Essay

    Every year the population in Texas is steadily growing. One social issue that continues to challenge Texas residents is Teen Pregnancy. According to the Texas Department of Health, "every ten minutes a Texas teen becomes pregnant." Because of those statistics Texas has held one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the United States. Which raises the question, Should condoms be available to teens in Texas high schools? Some parents and educators suggest that providing condoms in Texas high schools is condoning sexual behavior. Others believe that teens should have access to condoms to help protect their sexual health and an unwanted pregnancy. After considering both sides of the issues I strongly suggest that condoms be available for teens in Texas high schools so they are properly equipped to have safe sex and to decrease the rates of unwanted teen pregnancy and teens contracting STD's or HIV.…

    Aids crisis

    According to this statement, the college is declaring that it will provide a safe setting; which, by definition of safe, means free from risk and affording protection. While the vision of the college does not state the limitations to which the college will provide a safe setting, it can be assumed that this statement is all inclusive; and therefore, includes sexually transmitted diseases, such as HIV/AIDS. In addition, the vision of the college also states a safe community will be provided by caring student services. In order for the college to maintain and uphold this vision, it can be argued that installing condom dispensers is just one of the many ways the college can be sure to provide both a safe setting and a caring student service.…

    Analysis of “Condoms: the New Diploma

    The logic and motivation behind this country’s mad dash to distribute free condoms in our public schools is ridiculous and misguided. Worse, the message conveyed by mass condom distribution is a disservice and borders on being lethal. Condom distribution sanctions, even encourages, sexual activity, which in teen years tends to be promiscuous and relegates to secondary status the most important lesson to be taught: abstinence. An analysis of the entire condom distribution logic also provides a glimpse into just what is wrong with public education today.…

    Selling Safe Sex In Public Schools

    The article I wrote and I will talk about is “Selling Safe Sex in Public Schools” by Michelle Bryant. The article was about a teenage girl named Shelby Knox from Lubbock, Texas who discusses how schools just teach abstinence instead of also teaching safe sex education. In this article Ms. Bryant mentions a very common issue in public schools, which is how schools would to a certain extent teach students about abstinence only rather than giving them another form of sexual education, which seems to be a kind of program which not necessarily discourages teens from having sex, but helps them to prevent teens from having any unwanted teen pregnancies, or STD’s. One interesting fact that I notice on my research…
