On today's next Your Call we’ll talk about how and where young people are getting educated about sexual health. Under California law sex education must be comprehensive, science-based and free of bias. California is one of the only states that doesn’t take federal funds to teach abstinence-only. So what do you think sex education should like in schools? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. What resources are available to educators and parents? It’s Your Call with Holly Kernan, and you.
