Shelby Knox holds a question and answer session with NT students after the
screening of "The Education of Shelby Knox" Wednesday night at the Lyceum.
By Melissa Crowe
Intern
While in high school, Shelby
Knox's first introduction to the
toothbrush test was all thanks to
her conservative southern Baptist
Reverend Ed Ainsworth.
The toothbrush test, Knox said,
was when the Rev. Ainsworth
would call a girl to the stage and
ask if she wanted to use a tooth-
brush that looked like it had been
used to scrub a toilet. After she
said "no," he brought out another
toothbrush still in its packaging
and asked the same question.
The lesson, Knox said, was "if
you have sex before marriage,
you're the dirty toothbrush."
NT's Women's Studies Program
sponsored the showing of "The
Education of Shelby Knox," the first
of four films being shown as part
of the Fem Flicks series. The film,
which originally aired on PBS and
won a 2005 Sundance Film Festival
award, documents sex-education
programs in Lubbock.
The opening shot is an epigraph
by Butch Hancock, "Life in
Lubbock, Texas, taught me two
things: one is that God loves you
and you're going to burn in hell;
the other is that sex is the most
awful, filthy thing on Earth and
you should save it for someone
you love."
Like most school districts in
Texas, Lubbock Independent
School District is dead-set on a
strictly abstinence-only sex-ed
program that, according to Knox,
has failed. In fact, according to
the film, Lubbock had one of the
highest STD and teen pregnancy
rates in the nation.
"I heard about it in my women's
studies class," Arlington sopho-
more Dustin Delacerda said. "I've
always been a fan of safe-sex over
abstinence-only programs. Those
programs are not only ineffective,
but it makes it worse."
Now, four years after the film's
completion, Knox said Lubbock
still uses abstinence-only
programs. With religion playing
a major role in the sex-ed classes
at her school, Rev. Ainsworth was
allowed to present abstinence
programs there.
"Originally, I thought it was
what you needed to be taught,"
Midlothian freshman Sara
Afghanipour said. "Now that I'm
older and can see howmany people
are sexually active, I know that we
need to be educated on what goes
on and how to be cautious and
take care of ourselves."
Knox led a question and answer
session following the film.
Fort Worth senior Matthew
Williams asked for ideas to get
AIDS educationinschools "without
going through the extremely
hostile school districts."
The best way Knox said, is
through peer education groups,
including those formed through
Planned Parenthood and univer-
sities.
Mesquite senior Peace Nwegbo
asked what parents thought of the
abstienence-only programs.
"I don't think they knew," Knox
said. "They were thinking, 'oh,
not my kid."'
Fem Flicks spotlights different
women's issues including pornog-
raphy, breast implants and
women's rights. "God Sleeps in
Rwanda" will be shown at 5:30
p.m. Feb. 27 in the Media Library
in Chilton Hall.
"It's not a conversation we're
encouraged to have," Knox said.
"If we don't talk about it, it'll go
away."
