陈光标哭了视频:美国的全面性教育法案

11月1日，美国参众两院开始讨论一项全面性教育法案---

It is the singlemost important piece of legislation for the public health sector in regard to preventing unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, sexual abuse, dating violence, bullying, fostering healthy relationships, and providing accurate sexual health information. It would -finally- disallow the US government to spend money on or promote programs that withhold information about HIV, are medically inaccurate or proven ineffective, promote gender stereotypes, are insensitive and unresponsive to the needs of sexually active or LGBT youth, or are inconsistent with ethical imperatives of medicine and public health. (This is the current state of affairs.)

对公共健康来说，这是最重要的一项法案，可以防止意外怀孕、性传播疾病、性虐待、约会暴力和恃强凌弱，并能够培育健康的两性关系，提供准确的性保健信息。该法案最终会禁止美国政府投资或促进隐瞒艾滋病信息的方案。这些方案在医学上是不准确的或者被医学证明无效，会加剧性别刻板印象，而且对性乱交或LGBT青年（女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者）的需要不敏感且反应迟钝，或者与医学伦理和公共健康不协调。（目前的情况就是这样。）

This legislation is urgently and vitally needed. Since going through training and becoming a sex educator in 1998, and then furthering my education and becoming a volunteer for a national sex education hotline, I have watched the American public education system become corrupted by Federal abstinence education programs and watched the results predictably unfold over the course of a decade. Pregnancies, STDs/STIs, bullying, and suicides among teens have only gone up. We sex educators talking to kids on the phones, in person, at outreach programs, and online – we saw it coming.

这项立法非常急迫也非常重要。我于1998年接受培训成为一名性教育工作者，后来成为全国性教育热线的志愿者。这段时间，我见证了美国公共教育系统被联邦政府的禁欲教育计划所破坏，也见证了过去十几年那些可以预料的后果。青少年中间的意外怀孕、性病、恃强凌弱和自杀现象不断增加。我们性教育工作者会在电话上、面对面的、通过一些推广项目和网上与孩子们聊天---我们见证了这些年发生的事情。

Generations of teenagers have been harmed by the lack of comprehensive, evidence-based sex education in this country – and we are far behind our counterparts around the world in this regard.

美国有几代青少年由于缺乏综合性的、证据为基础的性教育而受到伤害---这方面，我们已经被其他国家的同行远远甩在后面了。

Just before the last Presidential election, the UN-sponsored Reality Check website ran my article Obama or McCain’s National Sex Ed Program. In it, I directly linked current sex ed standards to skyrocketing rates of teen sexual, orientation and gender distress. I outlined five clear guidelines to stop the war on public sex education in this country. This legislation is as if it were midwifed from those guidelines.

就在上次总统大选之前，联合国赞助的检验现实网站刊登了我的一篇文章，是关于奥巴马或麦凯恩的国家性教育计划的。我在文中直接把当前的性教育标准和快速增加的青少年的性问题联系起来。我归纳了5个清晰的原则来停止美国在公共性教育上的争论。这项立法像是来自这些原则的助产士。

The bill is called “The Real Education for Healthy Youth Act of 2011″ (HR 3324). You can read the text here on Open Congress. In sum, it is:
