NOW PLAYING: Kids Today Don't Stand a Chance
Featured Episode:

A recent study estimates that 3.2 million American teenage girls (nearly 1 in 4 teenagers) have some form of sexually transmitted disease. Critics have suggested that too little sex education may be to blame. But as John W. Whitehead points out in this week's vodcast, the opposite--that not only are we teaching our young people too much about sex, were teaching them all the wrong things--may be closer to the truth.

On Target with John Whitehead is a video blog that provides viewers with Whitehead’s insightful, relevant and provocative take on popular culture and constitutional issues. Whitehead is considered by many to be a legal, political and cultural watchdog—sounding the call for integrity, accountability and an adherence to the democratic principles on which this country was founded. As Whitehead often remarks, “Anytime people find themselves under fire from both the liberal left and the conservative right, it means that that person is probably right on target.”
