This is what students are being taught by
Right Choices of West Tennessee:

6th Grade Sixth graders are introduced to the physical and emotional stages of male and female puberty to prepare them for future roles as equally valued partners in the marital relationship. Vocabulary word games emphasize key concepts of abstinence, communication, commitment, trust, respect, and marriage. Interactive role-play examines the dynamics of peer pressure and teaches standard setting as well as refusal skills. Also included is an introduction to sexually transmitted diseases.

7th Grade An exercise in setting long-range goals also teaches that achieving goals is a step-by-step process—the sum of responsible daily decisions. Conversely, failure to succeed is also a gradual process of moving away from dreams. Students examine the power of media influence on the culture and ultimately their decisions. They are challenged to set high standards for their lives and their future dates and mates. Seventh graders learn the origins of marriage traditions and their relevance for today.

8th Grade Students identify some emotional and physical consequences (i.e., sexually transmitted diseases) of premarital sex. They examine the important differences between human and animal sexuality. Students examine ways the decisions of others can affect them and how their actions also affect others. They learn how to establish and maintain personal dating standards.

High School Students examine the differences between healthy and abusive relationships and receive practical advice on setting high standards. A lesson on gender similarities and differences is designed to enhance honest communication between the sexes and each partner’s role in the goal of saving sex for marriage. Students identify the progressive and addictive nature of sex, the risks of sexually transmitted diseases, and the influence of peer and media pressure. The concept of “secondary virginity” offers a way to begin again, and it is coupled with practical application of refusal skills.
