Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies: “THE EDUCATION OF SHELBY KNOX”
Film: “THE EDUCATION OF SHELBY KNOX” (76 min, Marion Lipschutz and Rose Rosenblatt, 2005)
The national debate over federally funded “abstinence-only” sex education programs plays out in full force in “The Education of Shelby Knox.” Fifteen-year-old Shelby Knox of Lubbock, Texas is a self-described “good Southern Baptist girl,” who herself has pledged abstinence until marriage. When she finds that Lubbock has some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases in the nation, and her county’s high schools teach abstinence as the only safe sex, she becomes an unlikely advocate for comprehensive sex education, profoundly changing her political and spiritual views along the way. Here is a story for our times, where the combustible mix of politics, family, and faith are not as predictable as the red state/blue state divide would suggest. More info: http://www.incite-pictures.com/Shelby_Knox.html Open community discussion follows the film with SASHA SUMMER COUSINEAU.
Co-sponsored by NOW and NARAL. -
