Abstract
Throughout different parts of the United States, there is a large variety of sex education. It can range from abstinence to full comprehensive plus sex education. A major downfall for the majority of the sex education tactics used in the United States is failing to discuss consent and open communication, two things that are important in every other aspect of our lives. A recent study from Missouri State (May 2021) may suggest that abstinence sex education may result in more judgemental views on victim-blaming and rape culture. It is important to learn the most effective way for sex education to reduce the amount of stigma around the topic. Through this research, I have identified ways that Carroll College can educate and progress on this issue as well as looked at literature from feminist authors to gain insight on possible solutions.
