Sex Education and Gender Equity.
Klein, Susan Shurberg
Educational Leadership, v45 n6 p69-75 Mar 1988
Although sex educators usually espouse nonsexist egalitarian views, many operate from our society's paternalistic framework, and few use gender equity criteria to guide development of students' sexual attitudes, knowledge, and behavior. Subtle gender inequities are hard to identify and can influence academic achievement. Educators should develop comprehensive approach to formal and informal aspects of sex education. Includes 46 references. (MLH)
