Season One Roundup/Season Two Preview

With the right education, a person is unstoppable and able to accomplish anything they attempt. It can give them a foundation to scrutinize, challenge, and develop belief systems, and engage with others in constructive ways. This is why I created Education from an Equal, as it is meant to be a mechanism to empower high school students across the nation to take charge of their own education. In the first season, I hope to craft a clear critique of the way that the national government, as well as individual school districts, choose to treat health class specifically. I will also be providing education and resources that emulate the kind of curriculum I, and all other students, deserve to see in classrooms everywhere. I hope that Education from an Equal becomes a jumping off place of sorts, one that inspires students to further their knowledge and education outside the scope of what I discuss and critique, so they can form their own ideas surrounding the kind of information they believe they should be taught.

SEASON TWO TRAILER

There are two epidemics overtaking teens across America: substance abuse and deteriorating mental health. In many cases, the two go hand in hand. In this episode, we discuss the flawed approach to combating teen drug use that is prevalent in schools across the nation. Instead of focusing on the fact that teens are using drugs at a higher rate than ever before, we look to the root cause: why are they using drugs? We delve into these reasons, and ways to tackle this issue at its root.

EPISODE FIVE: How Mental Health Stigma and Teen Drug Use are Intertwined

Though many parents believe they would be able to notice if their child was a victim of domestic abuse, research has show that the majority, around 58%, were unable to. Because domestic violence specific to teen dating is ignored in many curriculums, teens do not have the resources to leave, or even comprehend, violent relationships. In this episode, we will be discussing the multiple types of domestic abuse as they relate to teenage relationships, and critiquing our nation’s current approach.

EPISODE FOUR: The Way We Ignore Abuse and Violence in Teenage Relationships

Across the nation, LGBTQ+ students are left out of the most crucial aspects of sexual education, contributing to the social stigma surrounding LGBTQ+ relationships, as well as putting an already at risk community in even more danger. We will be critiquing “no promo homo” laws, which, in 7 states, dehumanize and erase identities, and exploring the intersectionality of this issue, delving into some basic education regarding STDs and LGBTQ+ identities.

EPISODE THREE: How LGBTQ+ Students are Endangered by Lacking STD Education
