Relate Kolberg's stages of moral development (and its critiques), to our discussion of developing a pragmatic approach to last week's topic regarding sex-education. In your post, include how you would frame your opinion on Kolberg's scale, how you would interpret the moral position of those responsible for creating the ab-only policies that are a current standard in Mississippi, and how this all may influence adolescent moral development. Refer to lecture material as much as possible.

Last weeks discussion:

How, why, and when should children receive education about sex?  Include in your response references to lecture/course material to date, age(s) when it should be introduced and why, an examination of how you've developed your opinion, a counter perspective to your opinion, and summary remark.
