The article written by KUTV, regarding the Student Rally For Better Sex Education In Utah, is aimed mainly towards high school students to make them aware that there are other kids out there lobbying against only abstinence being taught in schools. The other audience just as important would be the parents of these kids let them know that this is important to their own children

WATCO: What are the consequences of teaching safe sex in schools on the level of STDs and unwanted pregnancy.
Enthymeme: Teaching safe sex in schools decreases the level of STDs and unwanted pregnancy because teaching safe sex allows kids to be well informed and practice safe sex.
The article appeals mainly to logos and ethos. The article is very authoritative because it interviews the very people that are effected by sex education the kids and the fact that they speak out and want better sex-ed is evident that it is of great importance in terms of life.
The article is also clear and logical. The interviewer directs and steers the argument by asking questions that cover all the counter arguments that a potential parent or member of the school board may have.
There is an appeal to pathos also but it is not as obvious as logos and ethos. The fact that kids speak out openly about sex at a rally could spark some emotion in parents that the children do care and are generally concerned about their future.
There is definitely sufficient reasoning for improving sex ed from the children present but I do not think that it is a typical or accurate representation of the rest of students as there is only few involved and can not speak for the rest of the kids in school.
The article is very effective to the naive parent but when you look at the article closely or the topic in general you realize the flaws. It is very biased and really doesn’t take into consideration that these are just kids who could just want to talk about the crude side of sex or get out of regular class for a while to learn about something comical. I think that the parents are ultimately the deciders in a young child’s education so it would be better coming from a parent.
