摘要

通过对洛杉矶地区性教育的了解,我们可以看到第二次世界大战期间在家庭生活课程中出现的关于种族 "合适 "生育的优生思想。公立学校中关于优生优育的思想回应了对离婚率上升、犯罪、移民和出生公民权的广泛文化恐惧。重要的是,性教育和家庭生活教育中的优生学将女性选择配偶描绘成一种公民责任,这一举动为日后公立学校性教育中有关性别和性教育的冲突铺平了道路。在长达半个世纪的公立学校禁欲教育与全面性教育的冲突中,遗传学和遗传等话题已被双方广泛接受--被认为是美国公立学校性教育中价值中立的主要内容。然而,最近遗传和生殖技术的创新,以及美国变性和同性恋青年问题上的冲突,都对公立学校遗传学教学真的 "价值中立 "这一假设提出了挑战。

Eugenics, Sex and Family Life Education, and Juvenile Delinquency in Los Angeles County, California
This glimpse into sex education in the Los Angeles region illustrates the eugenic ideas about racially “fit” reproduction that emerged in family life curricula during the Second World War. Ideas about eugenic reproduction in public schools responded to broader cultural fears about increasing divorce rates, criminality, immigration, and birthright citizenship. Eugenics in sex and family life education, importantly, portrayed a woman’s choice of mate as a civic responsibility, a move that paved the way for future conflicts about teaching gender and sexuality in public school sex education. Amid a half-century-long conflict over abstinence-only versus comprehensive sex education in public schools, topics like genetics and heredity have come to be widely accepted by both sides—recognized as a presumably value-neutral staple of sex education in US public schools. Yet recent innovations in genetic and reproductive technologies, as well as the conflict over trans and queer youth in the United States, challenge the assumption that teaching genetics and heredity in public schools really is “value neutral.”
