What is SexEd:

SexEd is an ongoing quest to expose the current state of sexual education in the US, encourage a public discourse around the topics of sexual health and education, and develop sex education curricula that are artist-inspired and community-based—something currently not in existence in the United States.

The YouwishyouwouldhaveknownTube video open call:

This is the first in a series of projects that will ultimately build a comprehensive and collaborative sex education curriculum. The YouwishyouwouldhaveknownTube video call is to inspire a sense of community and knowledge-sharing around the topic of sex.

SexEd loves Last Week Tonight, with John Oliver. The super fandom started while watching John Oliver during his time on The Daily Show with Joh Stewart. Each and every one of his insightful, searing and challenging bits about the current state of a variety of social issues in the US has nearly brought tears of laughter (or relief for the coverage!) to my eyes. However, I didn’t realize just how amazing John Oliver’s show has been for the topics that SexEd cares about and holds dear, until a very wise intern compiled the long list of sexual health-related shows that Mr. Oliver has spotlighted this past season. We need more people in the media to cover these issues with the rigor and care that John and others like the amazing Samantha Bee(!!) have done so bravely during their 2016 seasons.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Covers Sex Ed:

Sex Ed:

A fabulously comprehensive video detailing the reasons we need good sexual education in the United States, and what’s stopping us from achieving the goal of universal, medically accurate sex education.

Abortion:

Catch up on the current abortion laws, which have caused many clinics to close down–denying accessible health care to thousands of patients.

Gay rights:

Find out about the new laws the US has passed, which still allow discrimination against people who are part of the LGBTQ community.

Transgender Rights:

Oliver explains the laws States have passed to restrict transgender people from being themselves and discusses the bathroom laws.

Paid Maternity Leave:

A sad piece that spotlights the fact that the US is one of the two first-world countries that don’t offer any paid maternity leave (the other country being Papua New Guinea); forcing many new moms to go back to work early and often make radical decisions about work to remain financially stable.
