NYCLU's Report on Sex Ed in NY State; Manga, and Hopi Art at the Brooklyn Museum

New York State does not require that schools teach sex education. A new report from the NYCLU details that, depending on where you live in New York State, the quality of sexual education in local public schools can vary widely, including many districts that the NYCLU finds to be significantly lacking. Aliyah Ansari, NYCLU senior education strategist, and Donna Lieberman, executive director, discuss the report and the state of Sex Ed in New York, and listeners share their experiences as parents and students in school.

Two new exhibits have opened this fall at the Brooklyn Museum. First, curator Nicole Coolidge Rousmaniere discusses Art of Manga, an exhibition dedicated to the craft of Japanese comics and graphic novels. Then, curator Dare Turner discusses Hopi Kachina Dolls: Blessings for a Balanced World, an exhibition displaying dolls traditionally carved by the Hopi indigenous tribe. Both exhibits are open now and run into 2027.
