Wes Crenshaw: Consent-Based Sex Education

  Teaching kids about sex has always been controversial. There are a lot of ways to go about it: the chaste filmstrips of yore, abstinence advocacy or scientific specifics.

On Monday's Up to Date, we look into the debate over that curriculum with psychologist Wes Crenshaw. We discuss his idea for consent-based sex education. We also talk with high school student filmmakers about the approach they’re taking with their own documentary on sex education.

Guests:

  • Dr. Wes Crenshaw, psychologist of couples and family psychology
  • David and Nicole, student filmmakers and sophomores at Olympia High School in Orlando, Fla.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
