Good evening! Thank you for presenting such fascinating content and for allowing me to ask you three questions pertaining to it. I really appreciate how you used charts and graphs, along with national statistics, to drive your points home regarding sex-education classes, or the lack thereof, within the educational system in America. The following three questions piqued my curiosity as I listened to you talk, and they were derived directly from your presentation:

 

Given the year-over-year increase of sexually tranmitted diseases since 2018, as you presented, is there available statistical information that you can show that correlates the year, or sequential years, where the spike in STD’s began to rise, because of a lack of sex-education in the school systems?

Do you think parents and youth have the same respectful and disciplinary-driven relationship between them today, as they did, say ten or fifteen years ago?

As the numbers show, the lack of sex-education classes, as a preventative measure, has led to a drastic increase in government spending (i.e. taxpayer dollars), and those funds are later applied to interventional tactics, as a reactive response to an ever-growing health crisis. With that said, should the government require sex-education classes as a preventative measure, for every state as a first line of defense, regardless of the stigmatism associated with the curriculum?
