Abstinence-only sex education programs are among many practices in U.S. schools that are harmful to children, psychologists have warned.In a new book titled Investigating School Psychology, researchers have carried out a review of studies to examine which school psychology practices pose a risk to young people by giving them misleading or unscientific information.
Despite this, such programs have historically been supported by the federal government and state policies continue to prioritize abstinence, without additional requirements regarding contraceptive methods.Similarly, the use of infant simulator dolls continue to be popular in classrooms, but studies suggest they fail to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies.The researchers also draw attention to the use of 'zero tolerance policies' in U.S. schools.
