A judge in Fresno County, California, has ruled against an abstinence-only sex education program, saying a school district violated state law by failing to provide adequate instruction on sexual health and HIV prevention.

Fresno County Superior Court Judge Donald Black said a lawsuit against Clovis Unified School District was justified because the district failed to offer "comprehensive, medically accurate, objective and bias-free" education, in violation of the California Comprehensive Sexual Health & HIV/AIDS Prevention Act, adopted in 2003. The law requires public schools to "provide a pupil with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect his or her sexual and reproductive health from unintended pregnancy and STDs."

"Given the high social cost of teen pregnancy and similar toll on society of HIV/ADIS [sic] and other sexually transmitted diseases, the rights vindicated by this suit, access to medically, and socially appropriate sexual education, is an important public right," Black wrote.

A school district spokesperson didn't immediately answer a request for comment.

The suit, filed by a group of Clovis parents in conjunction with the American Civil Liberties Union, alleged that the school district primarily used abstinence-oriented materials and did not properly educate students about contraception. The suit also accused the district of using instructional videos biased against LGBT individuals, as well as a video that compared a non-virgin woman with a "dirty shoe." At least one video used by the district had been cited by the state Department of Education as unsuitable "due to medical inaccuracies."

Black's ruling reads:

Plaintiffs claim that the District approved and used a variety of "egregiously inaccurate and biased videos," including Sex still has a Price Tag and No Apologies: The Truth about Life, Love and Sex; in 2007 it engaged an outside agency, Teen Choices, Inc., to provide instruction in intermediate school using a curriculum that was "replete with inaccurate, biased, and outdated information"; it approved another agency, the Pregnancy Care Center, to provide instruction despite the fact that its instructors did not have the required expertise in comprehensive sexual health education, and as it representative later admitted its presentation did not meet the requirements of the Act; and it adopted textbooks that failed to mention condoms or other contraception.
