Articles that moved me to do this.

 This was one that caught my attention on facebook.

Here is one of the ones from the NPR stories I heard

And here is another about Onterio's move to change the Sex ed curriculum.

These came in addition to my experience of being with 7 and 8 grade students being told that sex was only for heterosexual people who are married. And anything else was doomed to misery and a horrible life. They are also advised against even exploring their own sexuality. While the kids were given cards they could write questions on so they did not have to speak out and get noticed, many of them either did not know what questions to ask or were dealing with thinking they were already doomed to a miserable life.
