"Education that respects and values young people and helps them
become healthy, safe, responsible adults.
"


This is me holding my organization's poster!
 
On Tuesday, October 11, Sting Radio, our university's radio, hosted College Radio Day. My organization, the Texas Freedom Network, had the chance to participate in this awesome event. We had a small petition drive for comprehensive sex education and it was a good turnout for the hour that we were there. We utilized petitions provided by Education Works. There were a little over 20 petitions signed. However, we did encounter some opposition! Some people believe that youth should know the consequences of having sex. Simple, if you become pregnant or acquire an sti or std, it is YOUR fault. It is very unfortunate to know that people think like that.

Texans, you can sign the petition here!

These are the Education Works! Petitions we utilized.
 
"The Education Works coalition believes teenagers need honest information to make responsible choices about sex. The Education Works coalition is working to ensure that schools teach sexual health with a medically accurate and balanced approach – teaching abstinence along with facts about contraception and responsible decision-making."



People signing the petitions.



This poster grabbed a lot of attention! :D
