The U.S. has one of the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections among teens.
A primary reason for the high rates in the United States is that many public schools do not offer effective sex education programs. Instead, many school districts use abstinence-only curricula that are religiously biased, provide no information on using contraception, and have never been proven effective by peer-reviewed scientific study.
In 1994, the General Assembly adopted a statement expressing strong support for comprehensive sexuality education in public schools.
