Talk About Sex
Talk About Sex: the Battles over Sex Education in the United States
By Janice M. Irvine
0520235037 205p
Was expecting (and hoping for) a historical look on how sex education has changed over its history. Some studies perhaps on what works and what doesn't. Instead got a blatant attack on Christians, Republicans, and any person who has a different view from the author. Such a difference in language when talking about Republicans or Democrats (ie "seized power" vs "took back"). Too bad, could have been an interesting book.
6/10
