Show , AN EDUCATOR'S VIEW Instead of emphasiTing a particular mo7al point of view. "we stress cultural pluralism." she says. Alternatives and consequences are explained to the students. But some critics contend that an acceptance of pluralistic valueswhere sexual alternatives like homosexuality, premarital scx and virginity are regarded as equally validimparts a loose, relativistic morality to students. In fact, as a result of this exposure to a variety of sexual mores, many peer advisers find that old attitudes have changed. A Stuyvesant junior says she's "become a lot easier about my own sexuality," since joining the peer program. "A year ago, I thought, 'I've got sexual urges, how terrible,'" she said. "But you've got to learn to deal with these things." Dr. Michael Carrera, vice president of the American Association of Sex Educators and Counselors, who is the Ford Foundation's consultant to the peer program, believes that high schools across the country could benefit from a program of this kind. "One of the real problems for young people is that they are reaching a point in their lives where they have tremendous needs for accurate information I I ,7"5"111"""1147.; P t , ;,..

But he admits that these attitudes have not quite penetrated to the locker room, where boys still swap stories of their sexual adventures. "Guys still label girls," he says. When asked if he could marry a girl who wasn't a virgin, he said candidly, "I can't answer that." Even if sex education programs provoke students to question their own values, supporters of the peer project irsist that this kind of questioning is a vital part of growing up. An even more important aspect of tha program, however, is that students, through reliable, confidential information, have been spared the anguish of unwanted pregnancies or venereal disease. As George Ankuta, a hefty peer adviser from Stuyvesant puts it: "Kids have to make decisions based on what they know. If what they know is incorrect, they still have to make a decision."
