This lesson focuses on attitudes about sex and sexuality in America, as well as on the impact of these attitudes, as reflected in such diverse outcomes as infidelity, discrimination based on sexual orientation, and sexually transmitted diseases. It also explores the frequently uneasy tension between schools, the community and the family in the sexuality education of this nation's youth.
