Real sex-ed polls. (Scan).
A recent poll suggests that parents aren't as gung-ho about comprehensive sex education (as opposed to abstinence-based education) as is commonly believed.
The libertine Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS), likes to state that 81 percent of parents support curricula that teach children about "safe sex." But according to the new poll, commissioned by the Coalition for Adolescent Sexual Health and conducted by Zogby International, 61.1 percent of parents surveyed "disapprove or strongly disapprove" of this type of curriculum. By contrast, 73.5 percent of the parents "approve or strongly approve of abstinence-centered sex education."
The difference seems to lie in the way the poll questions are phrased. While previous surveys tended to pose general questions, the Zogby poll asked parents about specific aspects of various sex-ed programs. Zogby cited parts of the Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education, which include masturbation instructions for five- to eight-year-olds, put together by SIECUS, and asked whether parents approved or disapproved of them.
