"Abstinence, No Buts" Is Simplistic.

Brick, Peggy; Roffman, Deborah M.

Educational Leadership, v51 n3 p90-92 Nov 1993

Likona's critique of comprehensive sex education oversimplifies values instruction and ignores complexities of sex and reproduction, human growth, gender roles, intimacy, and social and cultural influences. Ideological approaches to sex education fail because they ignore the realities of everyday living. (Contains 27 references.) (MLH)
