Public battles over\u00a0what schools can teach about sex, identity and relationships<\/a>, often framed around \u201cparental rights<\/a>,\u201d have become more intense in recent years.<\/p>\n

Behind the loud debate lies a quiet contradiction. Many parents who say sex education should be taught only at home don\u2019t actually provide it there, either.<\/p>\n

As a\u00a0scholar of sex education<\/a>, I found that parents strongly opposed to\u00a0comprehensive sex education<\/a>\u00a0in schools were the least likely to discuss health-promoting concepts such as consent, contraception, gender identity and healthy relationships. I discuss similar themes in my book, \u201cA Modern Approach to the Birds and the Bees<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comprehensive sex education<\/a>\u00a0delays sexual activity, increases contraceptive use and reduces teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection rates. It has a complex history, but has long\u00a0received bipartisan support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In recent years, however, old debates over\u00a0sex education and funding<\/a>\u00a0have taken a sharper turn.<\/p>\n

In June 2025, the Trump administration ordered California to\u00a0remove gender-identity materials<\/a>\u00a0from sex education lessons or risk losing over US$12 million in federal funding.<\/p>\n

This directive is part of a\u00a0broader shift<\/a>. Since the early 1980s,\u00a0abstinence-focused policy<\/a>\u00a0has existed at the federal level under Reagan with the\u00a0Adolescent Family Life Act<\/a>. In recent years, however, a wave of\u00a0state-level legislation<\/a>, often driven by\u00a0conservative advocacy groups<\/a>, has tried to limit what schools can teach about sexuality.<\/p>\n

The parents\u2019 rights movement<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In 2023, Florida\u00a0expanded<\/a>\u00a0its\u00a0Parental Rights in Education, also known as the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d law<\/a>, to extend limits on discussing sexual orientation and gender identity to all K\u201312 grades. The law states that sex can be defined only as strictly binary, limits discussions of gender and sexuality, imposes rules on pronoun use and increases school board authority over curricula.<\/p>\n

Other states, including\u00a0Texas<\/a>,\u00a0Oklahoma<\/a>,\u00a0Louisiana<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kentucky<\/a>, have imposed similar restrictions.<\/p>\n

Local school boards in states such as Florida, Idaho, Tennessee and Utah have\u00a0removed textbooks<\/a>, cut health courses and banned books with LGBTQ+ themes. Conservative, local school boards are\u00a0reshaping sex education<\/a>\u00a0nationwide even though the vast majority of Americans\u00a0oppose efforts to restrict books<\/a>\u00a0in public schools and are confident in public schools\u2019 selection of books.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s having the talk?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As laws limit teaching about sex, gender and identity, I wanted to explore whether parents are stepping in to fill the gaps.<\/p>\n

About 10% of the surveyed parents said sex education should happen only at home. Those parents were also most likely to say they \u201calmost never\u201d or \u201cnever\u201d\u00a0discussed sex, sexuality and romance<\/a>\u00a0with their children.<\/p>\n

By contrast, parents who supported comprehensive, school-based sex ed were significantly more likely to discuss subjects including consent, contraception, identity and healthy relationships at home.<\/p>\n

The survey also found that parents who opposed comprehensive sex education were more likely to believe\u00a0commonly circulated misinformation<\/a>, such as the idea that talking about sex encourages early sexual activity and that condoms are not effective.<\/p>\n

These preliminary findings align with a robust body of peer-reviewed literature suggesting that parents who are more resistant to school-based sex ed are also\u00a0less likely<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0less equipped<\/a>\u00a0to have open, informed conversations at home.<\/p>\n

These findings point to a gap between expert recommendations and what parents do.<\/p>\n

At the federal level, the Trump administration\u00a0slashed funding for comprehensive sex education<\/a>. The administration also expanded funding for\u00a0abstinence-only programs<\/a>, despite\u00a0evidence of their ineffectiveness<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Risks rise without education<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A\u00a02022 report from Common Sense Media<\/a>\u00a0found that nearly half of teens report learning about sex online, with pornography among the top sources.<\/p>\n

Research indicates that even when schools and families avoid topics related to sexuality,\u00a0young people still encounter sexual content<\/a>. Yet, advocacy groups such as Moms for Liberty\u00a0support the removal<\/a>\u00a0of what it considers \u201cage-inappropriate\u201d or \u201csexually explicit\u201d materials from classrooms and school libraries.<\/p>\n

The absence of structured, accurate education likely has\u00a0implications for public health<\/a>. According to the\u00a0CDC<\/a>, individuals ages 15 to 24 account for nearly half of all new sexually transmitted infections in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas have some of the\u00a0highest teen birth and sexually transmitted infection rates<\/a>. Yet, these states are also among those with the most restrictive sex education policies and\u00a0poorest sex ed ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These communities also face\u00a0higher poverty<\/a>,\u00a0limited health care access<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0lower educational attainment<\/a>. The combination deepens\u00a0health disparities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LGBTQ+ youth are\u00a0especially vulnerable<\/a>\u00a0to sexually transmitted infections and related health challenges. This\u00a0vulnerability is compounded<\/a>\u00a0in regions with limited access to inclusive education.<\/p>\n

A\u00a02023 CDC report<\/a>\u00a0found that students who receive inclusive sex education feel more connected to school and experience lower rates of depression and bullying. These benefits are\u00a0especially critical<\/a>\u00a0for LGBTQ+ youth.<\/p>\n

As debates over sex education continue, I believe it\u2019s important for policymakers, school boards and communities to weigh parental input and public health data.<\/p>\n
