High school students take push for better sex ed to school board
Pamela Norris says her high school sex-education class consisted of watching Three Stooges movies and coloring.

"It wasn't really based on sex," complained the student at Curie High School on the Southwest Side.

Norris is one of the Curie students enrolled in the Forefront Program, a leadership and political-action training course where teens each year select an issue to research. This year's issue: teen pregnancy.

What the students learned brought a dozen Curie teens to last week's monthly meeting of the Chicago Board of Education to demand the public schools ditch their current sex ed curriculum for one that would stimulate today's sexually aware teens.
