Let's Talk About Sex in School - Women’s Media Center

My mom was always open about the fact that I was donor-conceived, even before I knew what that meant. I have half siblings across the country, from New York to Arizona, that I’ve developed relationships with since I was 18 months old, and my mom loves to talk about my sib family, especially how the mothers became their own unique type of family, sharing assisted reproductive technologies with each other.

I began researching sex education standards. It was the most difficult and complicated subject I had ever attempted to understand. I scaled down and researched my school district’s curriculum and the sex education laws in my state, Colorado.

I used the survey data to make a PowerPoint presentation and prepare a speech for my school district Board of Education. Contemplating the reality of speaking about sex to esteemed members of the Boulder Valley School District Board of Education had my hands trembling. Focusing on the support I had received from peers, their calls for comprehensive sex education, and the heart-wrenching stories of how the district had failed them, I walked up to the podium.
