Student across Ontario walked out of classes last September to protest changes to the sex education curriculum. Another walkout is planned for Thursday to protest a proposed increase in class sizes.

One’s sexual orientation is supposed to be locked in and unchangeable, like sex, race, or ethnicity. But high pregnancy rates among lesbians confound that narrative.

Same-sex marriage proponents say "marriage has evolved over time," but not in any way to support the changes taking place now.

Teaching kids about their bodies, sex, and reproduction is an important task. Here are some sex education resources to help.

A new study adds to a growing body of evidence demonstrating that the dominant narrative about sexual orientation—that it is genetically determined—simply cannot be true. Instead, the science shows that a person’s sexual orientation and choice of partners depends heavily on the development and expre

Help your students discover the delightful sassiness of our Founding Mother and Father, Abigail and John Adams, with this interactive assignment. Students work in pairs (mixed gender pairs can be especially fun for this assignment) to "translate" excerpts of letters from Abigail and John Adams into a more modern form: text messages. Your students will be having so much fun creating a text Battle of the Sexes that they won't even realize that they're engaging with difficult text as they read and decode what has become a foundational document of American democracy. Useful for history courses, but also for ELA teachers working on Common Core/nonfiction reading comprehension skills. Advanced students will be able to zip through this as an engaging warm-up to a larger lesson about women's voting rights, or the goals of the Continental Congress. With lower-skilled readers and ESL students, this assignment, along with a warm-up, debrief, and exit ticket, can take up one class period. Included at the end is a "summary" assignment that can be used as an exit ticket or homework assignment.

“Cat Person” powerfully reveals one of the most tragic costs of the sexual revolution: the fading possibility of true personal intimacy between a man and a woman.

In this segment, we continue our Tips by turning to the early teenage years, when conversations should be less about the mechanics of sex and more about the philosophy—or the meaning of sex. Remind them that sexual activity can lead to babies, and that babies born outside of wedlock suffer an injust

It’s now more than 50 years since the revolution began. Sexual “liberation” has been endlessly ballyhooed by the national media, promoted in the movies, embraced by Playboy guys and Cosmo girls as a…

I’m a picture person. I just love the way pictures communicate a message and bring us into a moment. At my pregnancy center I’ve had the pleasure of watching moms react to seeing their preborn children for the first time. Although I can’t share those beautiful pics with you, I can share some amazing preborn […]

Every Wednesday, the second hour of my national radio show is the "Male/Female Hour."

We all know how it happens -- man and woman meet, fireworks (or lust) ensue...and life begins. But between conception and birth, much of what happens is hidden, lost to the world behind the safety of mum's belly. Well, maybe it won't be so much of a mystery anymore. A photographer named Lennart Nilsson has

as women in the Church is concerned, the current consideration of women in the diaconate is misplaced. Almost certainly, the “deaconesses” of the early Church were not the equivalent of…

Like John C. Calhoun, who famously embraced slavery as a “positive good,” the abortion movement of 2016 has shifted from seeing abortion as a “necessary evil” to celebrating it as good for women and society.

My church and my parents encouraged me to wait for sex until marriage. I'm glad they did.

The “women’s rights” argument for abortion ubiquitous in modern Western culture reframes the act of abortion as a means to women’s freedom. Yet, historically, abortion has been and continues to be a reflection of male dominance.

About the Book A brand new Revels Student Edition of John Lyly's most popular and enchanting play Book Synopsis Devised as an entertainment for a Tudor monarch, Galatea might be seen, paradoxically, as a parable for our time. Inhabiting a world engaged in a process of change, the characters find themselves locked in a series of transgressive situations that speak directly to contemporary experience and twenty-first-century critical concerns. Same-sex relationships, shifts of authority, and the destabilization of meaning all lend the play a surprising modernity, making it at once the most accessible of Lyly's plays and the one most frequently performed today. Designed for the student reader, Leah Scragg's edition offers a range of perspectives on the work. An extensive introduction locates the play in the context of the Elizabethan court, opening a window onto a kind of drama very different from that of more familiar sixteenth-century writers, such as Marlowe and Shakespeare. The latter's indebtedness to the play is fully documented, while detailed critical and performance histories allow an insight into the work's susceptibility to reinterpretation. From the Back Cover Devised as an entertainment for a Tudor monarch and engaged with matters particularly pertinent to the Elizabethan state, Galatea might be seen, paradoxically, as a parable for our time. Inhabiting a world threatened with inundation and engaged in a process of change, the characters find themselves locked in a series of transgressive situations that speak directly to contemporary experience and twenty-first-century critical concerns. Same-sex relationships, shifts of authority, and the destabilization of meaning all lend the drama a surprising modernity, making it at once the most accessible of Lyly's plays and the one most frequently performed today. Specifically designed for the student reader, Leah Scragg's edition offers a range of perspectives on the work. An extensive introduction locates the play in the context of the Elizabethan court and the performance of plays by juvenile troupes, opening a window upon a kind of drama very different from that of more familiar sixteenth-century dramatists such as Marlowe and Shakespeare. The latter's indebtedness to the work is fully documented, while detailed critical and performance histories afford an insight into the susceptibility of the work to reinterpretation. Newly edited from the earliest witness, the quarto of 1592, and richly annotated for the modern reader, this edition allows access to the work of a writer who was a central figure in the cultural life of late sixteenth-century England and is still capable of speaking to audiences today. Review Quotes 'The play is admirably edited for Revels Student Editions by Leah Scragg. The footnotes are clear and thorough, the introduction lucid and sophisticated, discussing a variety of topics and providing sufficient references to encourage further exploration.'Jean Wilson, The TLS, May 2013 'One can have no better guide to Galatea than the editor of the present convenient paperback edition, Leah Scragg, the leading Lyly scholar of our time. . . . Her shrewd annotation, and her generous introduction that opens all the wavelengths that the play touches on, with fair-minded accounts of the stage history and of previous criticism, provide a lavish, indeed royal portal to an exquisite courtly comedy.'Peter Saccio, Around the Globe, issue 54 (summer 2013) About the Author Leah Scragg is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the School of Arts, Histories and Cultures at the University of Manchester
