Issues of sexual assault have become pervasive across all social strata in
American society. Citizens need to start having conversations regarding these issues. To
combat the issue of sexual assault, children need to be educated regarding the
multifaceted aspects of sex through sex education in order to understand consent and
resources they have available to them. Utilizing grounded theory methodology, this thesis
analyzes sex education literature provided to Palm Beach County Middle School
students. Using Burke’s theory of terministic screens and Foucauldian theories of power
and control; an understanding of the ideological underpinnings of this literature and
discourse were acquired. After analysis, suggestions for disclosure and sex education
programs are provided. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
