Interesting post, though how would you or anyone else accomplish your goal?
First off, you have many roadblocks:
- Many state legislatures that are now in the mindset of the failed abstinence-only education
- Every school district or school board will want to teach a different sex-ed curricula
- Various religious groups that do not want their children to be subjected to such immoral indoctrination (sarcasm)
- Private schools and parents who home school their children wouldn’t have to do it
- You’d have to provide an opportunity for parents to remove their children from such indoctrination because of various legal and, because sexual activity is linked to religious belief in some cases, constitutional issues.
Secondly, if you were to get past all of those roadblocks or even most of them, some of their information is bound to be inaccurate, biased, or just lies. This could be fixed, or drastically improved, with a national sex-ed curriculum. But that isn’t possible right now because it would violate the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which prohibits establishing a national curriculum. So you’d be stuck trying to convince each state to adopt the same curriculum voluntarily.
It seems the only way to accomplish your goal, or to start moving in the right direction, is to convince enough people that voluntary sexual activity has nothing to do with morality. Best of luck!
