Sex Education & the Surgeon General's Report

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, July 11, 2001.

Surgeon General David Satcher’s new call to action on sexual health is raising hackles among critics. They say his sex-ed guidelines put too much emphasis on contraception and don't stress abstinence enough. We’ll talk about about what this means for sex-ed in schools. Laura’s guests are Vicky Jaffe, Communications Manager for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England http://www.ppnne.org, and Patrick Fagan, Wm. H.G. Fitzgerald Research Fellow in Family & Cultural Issues for
the Heritage Foundation http://www.heritage.org
