The Education of
Shelby Knox
a
film by Marion Lipschutz and Rose Rosenblatt
A self-described "good Southern Baptist girl," 15-year-old Shelby Knox of
Lubbock, Texas has pledged abstinence until marriage. But she becomes an
unlikely advocate for comprehensive sex ed 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. See the special topics tab on the
Women's History Month Research Guide for the trailer and more.
