Listen up, parents. The goal of sex education is not to prevent unwanted pregnancies and diseases. The goal is to promote sexual freedom.
That may sound outrageous, but it&#8217;s the premise of Dr. Miriam Grossman&#8217;s new book, You&#8217;re Teaching My Child What?, and it&#8217;s backed up by plenty of cold, hard [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s no secret to students that coed dorms are more fun than same-sex dorms. But they can also fuel very unhealthy behavior that might otherwise be moderated.
