Sex education needs to continue after high school

The University of Southern California should lead the way in providing comprehensive sex education to its students, as current programs are lacking. Many students, including those at USC, are not adequately informed about sexual health and are at risk due to insufficient education.
USC should spearhead a new era of sexual education to inform the new generation. Current sex education systems in the US are middling at best, with only three states mandating comprehensive sexual education. Many students are denied sufficient sexual education, and the responsibility to make comprehensive programs accessible rests on university administrators. USC offers some sexual health outlets, but these services can't fill the gap left by insufficient secondary education. Sexual exploration is a part of the college experience, but it also poses risks, and many students are not getting tested for STIs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages annual tests for anyone sexually active, but this lack of knowledge is due to spotty education. Universities should offer forums and short-form courses to tackle sexual health topics, including issues pertinent to women and LGBTQ+ students.
