Redefining marriage brings about social change. A small part of this change is positive, but it also brings about a lot of negative social outcomes too. This lecture looks at how religions automatically go into decline in countries that redefine marriage. In their place, the state sets about redefining right and wrong based on the changing views of the political class. Since these new definitions are often at odds with what people know to be right or wrong, the only way for the state to keep these new values in place is through fear. Society is left without the timeless principles that are found within most religions - and totalitarianism creeps in.

Abstract
The present research focuses mainly on the existence of comprehensive sex education in public schools—or the lack thereof—and its impact on sexual behaviors and practices among youth, and consequently, on the overall sexual health of teenagers and young adults. It surveys common practices in Europe and compares them to those of the United States with the objective of confirming the author’s theory that comprehensive sexual education leads to less pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections among teenagers. Additionally, it questions the ethicality of the current disinformation campaign that is upheld in American public schools through the abstinence-only-until-marriage program which manipulates information and spreads falsehoods about the efficacy of contraceptive and barrier methods with the objective of discouraging teenagers from engaging in sexual activity.
Comprehensive Sex Education in Public Schools:
A Matter of Public Health
Throughout the twentieth century, America underwent a multitude of societal changes. Among those, the sexual revolution, rooted in the commercialization of birth control, has transformed the life of American men and women. In modern day’s society, young people stay in school longer and marry later. For a majority of Americans, the first sexual intercourse happens during adolescence and before marriage. With sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancy rates skyrocketing in the last part of the twentieth century, sex education became a social concern. Since then, numerous groups have raised apprehensions about teenagers receiving information on sexuality and contraception arguing that it is promoting sexual activity and encouraging youngsters to engage in promiscuous behaviors. However, because sexually transmitted infections lead to serious health problems including infertility and death, and teen pregnancies cost taxpayers substantial amounts of money, law makers should consider sex education as a matter of public health rather than as a moral issue, and make it a mandatory component of the state’s public education curriculum.
Teen Pregnancy rates
In the United States, teen birth rates have consistently gone down since their peak of the early 1990s. According to the Office of Adolescent Health division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in 2013, birth rates reached a historical low of 26.5 for every 1000 teenage female ages 15-19. More than half the 59.9 rate of 1990, the 2013 data demonstrates great improvement in one of the country’s greatest scourge of the twentieth century (HHS, 2015). However encouraging the data may be when compared to past performances, when put side by side with other developed countries’ teen birth rates, the United States appears to ...
Thrilled to announce I've been awarded Fist Place in Roger William University's 2017 Advanced Writing Contest for my policy report “Children & Lunch-Shaming: America’s Neglected Stain."
Lunch-Shaming in America is not often talked about or understood, but has become an increasing problem for the esteem and development of America's children. Children are being wrongfully stigmatized for their family's finances by being denied the same lunch as their peers, receiving a stamp saying "Need Lunch Money", or being forced to perform chores for their lunch.
School lunch companies and school administrations should not be able to stigmatize 2nd, 3rd, 4th graders for something their parents need to deal with.
If any of this makes you sad/angry/annoyed, please feel free to read my report, Children & Lunch Shaming: America's Neglected Stain, and let me know your thoughts!

Senator Tom Harkin
Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions
428 Senate Dirksen Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Harkin:
Please accept this letter and enclosed documents as a proposal for improving
sexuality education policy for the youth of this country. Of all developed nations, the
U.S. still maintains the highest rate of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted
infections. Although the federal government does not usually intervene in the states'
educational policies, there is one thing you can do to drastically improve the sexual
health of the next generations.
As you may be aware, the Adolescent Family Life Act (AFL) was developed in 1981
and instated with increased funding in 1996. Under this act, the federal government
began distributing grants directly to organizations and programs that agree to teach
abstinence-only sexuality education to adolescents. Now called the Pregnancy
Assistance Fund under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, the
situation remains exactly the same.
As you may not be aware, abstinence-only education, while representing a decent
ideal, has never proven to be effective. The enclosed research report explains why
more comprehensive methods of education may be more effective in addressing
teen pregnancy and STI transmission, and it includes a plea for developing a policy
that would accomplish this goal. Please discuss within your committee a
complementary policy that would provide incentive to states requiring inclusive,
research validated sexuality education for youth in their schools.
Sincerely,
Samantha Brown
