The Education of Shelby Knox, a documentary film about sex education policies in public schools, will be screened Tuesday, March 24, at 6 p.m. in Greenwood Library 147, followed by a discussion with Sasha Gregory, interim wellness director, about sex education. The film is about a 15-year-old "good Southern Baptist girl" in Lubbock, Texas, who has pledged abstinence until marriage. She becomes an unlikely advocate for comprehensive sex education when she finds that Lubbock, where high schools teach abstinence as the only safe sex, has some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy and STDs in the state. The film, which premiered in 2005 on PBS, is being shown as part of Women's History Month.
