Abstinence In School

The school sends off a permission slip to the parents and requires a signature to allow the student to get educated. Schools are allowed to show parents the material they will be teaching the class if parent ask. But this is another issue the policy had, a lot of this material goes against faith and religion believes. Many parents would not allow this for their children so many schools became more “abstinence only.” In 1981, the adolescent family life act (AFLA) was formed to promote abstinence and determination in teens. This organization was promoting their ideas to get funds from charity groups, churches, and pro-family groups. Putting their “only abstinence” message out there expanded their organization and many people were supporting them.
