FAQs Table Of Contents: Abstinence-only education is one of the religious right's greatest challenges to the nation's sexual health. But it is only one tactic in a broader, longer-term strategy. Since the early 1980s, the "family values" movement has won the collaboration of governments and public institutions, from Congress to local school boards, in abridging students' constitutional rights. Schools now block student access to sexual health information in class, at the school library, and through the public library's Internet portals. They violate students' free speech rights by censoring student publications of articles referring to sexuality. Abstinence-only programs often promote alarmist misinformation about sexual health and force-feed students religious ideology that condemns homosexuality, masturbation, abortion, and contraception. In doing so, they endanger students' sexual health. A dozen years later, the U.S. Supreme Court held that funded programs must delete direct references to religion (for instance, the suggestion that students take Christ on a date as chaperone), and the granting process was reined in. But it was too late. Some of the biggest federal grant recipients, including Sex Respect and Teen-Aid, had already turned their curricula into robust for-profit businesses. Christian fundamentalist groups, which built much of that infrastructure, remain among the most vehement opponents of comprehensive, medically accurate sexuality education today.

Progress Report On Information Literacy Progress The efforts made so far of the regional accrediting agencies on behalf colorado Educational Media Association. Information Literacy Guidelines http://www.infolit.org/documents/progress.html
Extractions: Information Literacy: Final Report March 1998 As the Information Age became a conscious part of people's thinking, leaders in and out of education had nothing but the highest hopes for the future. Many believed that finally technology would lessen the gap between the haves and have-nots because greater access to more information for all young people would ultimately eliminate educational inequalities, and the subsequent rippling effect on the workplace and society, in general, would produce a stronger, more stable economy and a more cohesive society. These dreams of a better tomorrow, however, seemed to many to be dependent on huge investments in technologyin computers and networks. In response to this challenge, national, state, and institutional leaders began the difficult task of looking for the funding necessary for the infrastructures. When it became clear that so many schools and communities lacked the needed resources, the federal governmentin its support of the Information Highwaymade an unprecedented promise to link all schools, colleges, and public libraries so that, indeed, there would be equal access to information for all. Around the same time, a small group of national leadersprimarily from education and librarianshiparticulated their own vision of a productive, thriving people in the new Information Age. That vision was eventually published as the

Education and Transition/Person-Centered Planning Making Experiential Education Accessible for Students with Disabilities College students with disabilities enter with less work experience and have a harder time finding jobs than their nondisabled peers. Experiential education mentoring, internships, job shadowing, and so on can create a bridge to graduation and employment. However, that requires college professionals to consider access issues for all students. A new Institute Brief provides basic disability awareness information, suggests ways to create welcoming career offices, and offers ideas to increase access to experiential education. Making Experiential Education Accessible for Students with Disabilities - text Time spent in school is probably the single greatest feature of a young person's life. So it only makes sense for parents to make sure their sons and daughters get what they need from school. Even though families don't have much influence over how schools structure courses, there are things they can do to make the most of what schools have to offer. This tip sheet is based on the experiences of students with disabilities in public schools and their families.
