Sex ed in Georgia

Now, since I've lived in Georgia my whole life and go to school in Georgia (very close to Savannah) this video really struck my attention. It is about the fight for comprehensive education in SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Take a look at it...it's pretty interesting.



Our Reality: A Fight for Comprehensive Sex Education in Savannah, GA from RH Reality Check on Vimeo.



Georgia has received $22.4 million for abstinence only funding over the last couple of years. And yet Georgia is ranked 10th nationally for teen birth rates 54.2 per 1000 girls aged 15-19. We can make a difference by advocating for comprehensive sex education. From this video, you can tell that the young people are ready to step and speak so we should too! We need to make our voices heard so that COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION will be taught in more counties in Georgia.
