An Inclusive Litany
6/6/01
In an article titled "Keeping Sex in Sex Education," published in
the Southern California Review of Law and Women's Studies,
Gary Simpson and Erika Sussman argue that for schools to encourage
premarital sexual abstinence is to violate the establishment provision
of the First Amendment,
because abstinence is supported by religion. They further argue that
the provision allowing free exercise of religion does not allow
parents to keep their children out of sex education classes.
