There is no nationally mandated sex education curriculum in the US, as a result of this there are 25 states in America that are not legally required to teach ANY type of sex education to their students. In this series, I am going from state to state to talk to educators, policy makers, and students about the sex education in their state. My name is Jackie, and I am a sex educator in New Jersey here to inform on the dirty truth about sex education in America.

I interviewed abortion advocate and badass sex educator Irma on the sex education laws in Texas, and the effect that these laws have on young people from a first hand perspective.
Irma is a certified sex educator promoting pleasure in the Deep South. She runs the platform "Dirty South Sex Ed" which you can find her on Instagram at @sexedwithirma.
Texas has not revised their sex education curriculum since 1994. The state also does not require sex education, nor does it require HIV/AIDS education. They receive the largest amount of abstinence only funding in the country.
