On November 5, 2007, the University of Florida released a study confirming what we already knew - that the state of sex education in Florida is failing our youth.

Among the study's findings were: 

• Sex ed is afforded too little time
• Occurs too late in students’ academic career (usually in 9th or 10th grade);
• Has little uniformity or standards (in terms of training or quality assurance);
• Is not accessible to all students (especially Latinos); and
• May not adequately address student’s needs.

 Meanwhile, most of the respondents believed that:

• Accurate and balanced information on sex education should be discussed and taught in schools.
• Talking about sexuality does not encourage sexual activity.
