Sex education polices are not always the same but are sometimes directed by ethnicity and race.As Rubin says that “The realm of sexuality also has its own internal policies, inequalities, and modes of oppression.” (Rubin, 1993,p100)In out daily lives, most of white youth receive enough sex education curricula. But for Latin girls, their culture and identities also influence their experience In learning about sex, love and romance. In the book “Respect Yourself, Protect Yourself” by Lorena Garcia, it shows that lightly more than half of the Latin girls learn very little about sex. What they receive is called abstinence-only education, which does not teach about contraception or abortion. No matter which kind of education of sex Latin girls receive, they are restricted for their engagement with sex education since they are too young to learn these under Latin society. Latin girls are sometimes offered with self contradictory lessons, which create uncertainty to students that how should they recognize those information about sex. For example, one girl called Ines said that “they tell you all about safe, but turn around and tell you, ‘ but you really don’t need to know this...’”(Garcia, 2012,p61) Colored teenagers are considered “as always ‘at risk’ and source of danger” since their lack of proper sex education by Garcia. (Garcia, 2012,p58) With such different acknolowdgement toward sex and love, gender and sexual inequalities are consequently created. Public school’s Teachers even consider sex education at the age of 16 as something unacceptable, students would only get even fewer proper information of sex and love. In the book “Arab American Femininities,” the author Nadin Nader wrote one example of a girl called Nicole. Throughout the whole conversation, Nicole places herself within “a series of binaries” that she was trapped by “Arabs” vs. “America.” (Nader,2006,108)Migrating to America, some of the Arab families want to perceive their old culture and some of them receive the openness of American’s attitude toward sex. If one embrace the American’s attitude of love and sex,which is unacceptable for traditional Arab family, she may be recognized as an “Americanized whore.” Thus, Arab girls are expected to obey their traditional norms in their family while they are also influenced by the American society. Under this kind of condition, youth experience the sense of binary.
