Lubbock Teen Featured on PBS' P.O.V Tonight

Tonight, The Education of Shelby Knox will air on P.O.V. I've heard interviews with Shelby Knox on several radio shows recently. Shelby's take on "Abstinence Only Education" is extremely compelling:

What’s it like to be a Christian teenage girl today? Shelby Knox, a native of Lubbock, Texas, is on the rocky road through high school. At 15, Shelby pledges celibacy until marriage, but because Lubbock has one of the highest teen pregnancy and STD rates in the state, she also spearheads a campaign for comprehensive sex education in the high schools, opposing the established “abstinence-only” curriculum. When the campaign broadens with a fight for a gay-straight alliance club in the high school, Shelby confronts her parents and her faith as she begins to understand how deeply personal beliefs can inform political action.

Alternet has a review of the documentary.
