Abstract Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE), one of the key evidence-based strategies in our programmatic toolbox to address adolescent pregnancy and birth rates, remains a politically-charged issue countrywide. Though there is some funding available at the federal level, there are no national policies mandating the provision of sex education; as such, most decision-making occurs at the state or even the local level. Consequently, the provision of sex education and the quality and comprehensiveness of curricula used to do so are highly variable across the country, and are heavily influenced by the level of support or resistance in communities. This paper analyzes the experience of institutionalizing an evidence-based sex education in a large suburban school district in San Antonio, Texas, a socially conservative context. Understanding the politics of sex education is key to developing effective policies and strategies to ensure quality sex education programs are provided in public schools. However, there are no published papers documenting specific experiences with resistance to sex education in local communities in the USA. Given this, the strategies employed by opponents and the response by district officials can be informative for other school settings in the USA and around the world.

在德克萨斯州内心深处管理性教育争议：以东北独立学区（NEISD）为例

摘要全面的性教育（CSE）是我们解决青少年怀孕和出生率的方案工具箱中基于证据的关键策略之一，在全国范围内仍然是一个政治课题。尽管在联邦一级有一些可用的资金，但没有国家政策规定提供性教育。因此，大多数决策都发生在州甚至地方一级。因此，性教育的提供以及用于提供性教育的课程的质量和全面性在全国范围内变化很大，并且受到社区支持或抵制的程度的严重影响。本文分析了在社会保守的背景下，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的一个大型郊区学区实施循证性教育的经验。了解性教育的政治思想是制定有效政策和策略的关键，以确保在公立学校提供优质的性教育计划。但是，目前尚无已发表的论文来记载美国当地社区抵制性教育的具体经历。鉴于此，反对者采用的策略和地方官员的回应可能会为美国和世界其他地区的学校提供​​有益的信息。缩写：AFLA：《青少年家庭生活法》；冠军：选择和维护有效的学校性教育计划模式；CSE：全面的性教育；DTL / RTL：画线/检查线；HSAE：《人类性与节欲教育》，2008年之前NEISD的中学性教育课程；NEISD：东北独立学区；SAFA：圣安东尼奥家庭协会；SHAC：学校健康咨询委员会；STI：性传播感染；TEC：德克萨斯州教育法；TPIA：《德克萨斯公共信息法案》；美国：美利坚合众国；UTHSC：德克萨斯大学健康科学中心
