I was reading Cory Silverberg‘s latest on sex education, loving his ideas about storytelling as a method of sex education. I fully agree that pass knowledge in this manner, as opposed to a clinical approach, will engage young people to think about the material and then consider their own stories.
However, as I read, I was getting consider about the idea of “whose story.” Certainly, there are many versions and types of sex ed stories that could be told to educate impressionable minds. Fortunately, Cory does address this situation at the end, assuring me that the storytelling model isn’t just a great, fanciful idea, but one that is rooted and still needs to be critically addressed.
