Creating Alternatives
— An Answer to Abstinance Only Sex-Ed
I developed a custom full-featured website using Expression Engine that housed classroom curriculum for teachers developed by Howard Brown Health Center, articles from young writers, and events such as film screenings and theater shows for the About Face Theatre production, Fast Forward (a play about the challenges of being gay in high school and the sex education crisis in America).
"After $1 billion was spent on the 'abstinence-only-until marriage' curriculum, no federal funding exists for a comprehensive sex education. Statistics like these must spur a new dialogue to combat the spread of HIV and expand the definition of sex education in schools."
