Winner of the American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Book Award Why do we have sex education? For whom does it exist, and who is it against? This open access book explores these questions, ultimately calling into question the very existence of sex education itself. The analysis is centred on the marginalised lives of sex workers. This focus allows us to see sex education and sex work in a new light and provides insights into the implications of sex education in public schools and teacher education. By considering the relationship between sex education and sex work, Caitlin Howlett reveals the way in which sex education exists as a form of state violence, and continues to maintain close ties to sexism, racism, colonialism, and capitalism. Drawing on Foucauldian genealogy, feminist history, epistemology, post-humanism, and queer of color critique, Howlett calls for an end to sex education as a federally funded project and argues for new pedagogical approaches to educating about sex, gender, and sexuality in schools. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Sex education is learning that can be given to children from an early age. The goal is for children have complete knowledge about the anatomy of their bodies related to sex. Children will know what to do and not do to their body. The mistreatment of their body is feared to cause deviant behavior. Sex education should be given according to the development of their age. Conducting sex education for elementary school students is very important so that they do not get information from media that is freely accessible. As a result of incorrect access to sex information from the media, students can fall into pornography. Children who are addicted to pornography, in turn, can plunge children into porn action. Not impossible, children who are addicted to pornography patronize to brothels. Providing knowledge about the history of prostitution for elementary school teachers is needed so that they are wise in providing sex education for their students. Being a prostitute with the predicate of graduating from elementary school has a different value than prostitutes with an elite class. How sad it is for prostitutes with low levels of education.
