Knust: Ineffective Forms Of Sex Education

n the end, I feel the work of Knust is important both because of its importantand trenchant critical edge as well as its emancipatory potential. Given that Knustsucceeds in meeting advocates of abstinence-only sexual education on their ownterrain, her rejection of their approach to sex education is consistent with their ownlines of argumentation. As such, the approach taken by Knust is potent in terms ofdemonstrating the need for a broad social shift towards more pragmatic andeffective forms of sex education which take into realities the sexual behaviors ofcontemporary youth, and which adjust for the difficulties which youth face inrelation to STIs, unwanted pregnancies, and other consequences of poor
