Abstract
In 1991 we critically evaluated Sex Respect: The Option of True Sexual Freedom, a prepackaged and controversial sexuality education curriculum being promoted nationally. Taking the issues that we felt made that curriculum problematic for public schools, this paper examines two curricula produced by Teen-Aid. Both Teen-Aid and Sex Respect promote abstinence as the only possible approach to sexuality for teens and the solution to the problems of unplanned teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Though they share agendas, there are differences between the ways curriculum materials are presented. The comparisons, however, indicate that there are few differences in the issues that make them inappropriate for use in public schools.
