Episode Details

This episode argues that Christians are not opposed to sex education itself but to the standards and worldview underlying much modern sex education, which is openly anti-Christian. Every course reflects a philosophy, and biblical sex education must begin with God’s law “Thou shalt not commit adultery” and the conviction that sexual intimacy belongs within marriage. While biological facts are simple to teach, the deeper attitudes of love, service, and unity in marriage grow over years through faith and obedience to Scripture. Public-school sex education, however, is rooted in humanistic morality, as illustrated by Dr. Mary Calderone of SIECUS, who explicitly teaches that youths must reject parental standards, form their own values, and determine for themselves when and how to engage in sex. This constitutes a rival religion that has reshaped the values of many young people since the 1960s. Because sex education is inseparable from moral and religious instruction, the author insists that only a distinctly Christian approach can faithfully teach it.
