    Currently a Whitehouse petition to the Obama Administration would implement grants/funding to schools willing to adopt a curriculum and other academic functions that would support:

    -Resources for children who are survivors of sexual abuse (1/5 girls and 1/20 boys are victims of sex crimes)
    -Consent Education
    -Effects of sexual abuse/assault

    Ontop of the rampant amount of crimes involving children. Recent cases like Steubenville highlighted the cultural misunderstandings about sexual assault, and showed how deeply this is an issue. If we can educate more people about sexual assault, we can try shaping cultural attitudes on this problem.

    Consent education entitles rape does it not?

    First post with overly sensational title that seems to be meant to get a big reaction compared to the actual issue.

    No. Consent Education addresses learning that consent be explicitly granted, never simply assumed.
