Curricula in U.S. public schools are often the focus of heated
debate, and few subjects spark more controversy than sex education.
While conservatives argue that sexual abstinence should be the only
message, liberals counter that an approach that provides
comprehensive instruction and helps young people avoid sexually
transmitted diseases and pregnancy is necessary. Caught in the
middle are the students and teachers whose everyday experiences of
sex education are seldom as clear-cut as either side of the debate
suggests.""Risky Lessons"" brings readers inside three North
Carolina middle schools to show how students and teachers support
and subvert the official curriculum through their questions,
choices, viewpoints, and reactions. Most important, the book
highlights how sex education's formal and informal lessons reflect
and reinforce gender, race, and class inequalities.Ultimately
critical of both conservative and liberal approaches, Fields argues
for curricula that promote social and sexual justice. Sex
education's aim need not be limited to reducing the risk of
adolescent pregnancies, disease, and sexual activity. Rather, its
lessons should help young people to recognize and contend with
sexual desires, power, and inequalities.
