Sex Education and Media; How Does Media Influence Our Sexual and Gender Exploration, Education, and Acceptance?

fourth edition Maren Sage

In recent years the state of sex education has been a target of conservative legislation. The ability of teachers to provide their students with accurate information is being restricted.
