Guilford's sex ed unremarkable, study finds
"Students in some North Carolina school districts receive inaccurate information from those charged with educating them about healthy sexual practices, according to a study by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) Pro-Choice North Carolina Foundation.
NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina to survey the sex education curriculum in six counties that included rural and urban populations. Guilford County was one of the counties included in the initial report, which was released on July 26. Of those counties, researches found biased and inaccurate information in the curricula used by Cumberland and New Hanover Counties. The report's release coincided with the NC Senate's approval of a corrections bill that requires abstinence-first or abstinence-only curricula to include accurate information on the effectiveness and failure rates of contraceptives."
