| Summary |
Risky Lessons brings readers inside three North Carolina middle schools to show how students and teachers support and subvert the official curriculum of sex education through their questions, choices, viewpoints, and reactions. Most important, the book highlights how sex education's formal and informal lessons reflect and reinforce gender, race, and class inequalities. Ultimately critical of both conservative and liberal approaches, Fields argues for curricula that promote social and sexual justice. |
