Dr. Eva Goldfarb Discusses Sex Education during the Coronavirus Pandemic

Sex education involves delicate discussions at the best of times, but the last year has brought unprecedented challenges for students and teachers alike.

Dr. Eva Goldfarb, Professor in the Public Health Department, was recently featured in an Education Week article discussing sex education during the coronavirus pandemic.

“I don’t think schools have done a particularly great job during the pandemic with sex education,” said Dr. Goldfarb. She added, “Since sex education has never been a top priority for most school districts, when schools moved online sex ed. was likely cut back or eliminated in favor of what was considered to be more essential core subject areas.”
