Adherence to Title V Guidelines

Keith’s student and parent presentations, as well as his book, Fighting Back, adhere to Title V guidelines put forth in Title V, Section 510(b)(2) of the 1996 Social Security Act. As defined by Title V, a program is able to receive Title V funding if it:

A) Has as its exclusive purpose, teaching the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by abstaining from sexual activity;

B) Teaches abstinence from sexual activity outside marriage as the expected standard for all school age children;

C) Teaches that abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain way to avoid out-of -wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and other associated health problems;

D) Teaches that a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity;

E) Teaches that sexual activity outside of the context of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects;

F) Teaches that bearing children out-of wedlock is likely to have harmful consequences for the child, the child’s parents, and society;

G) Teaches young people how to reject sexual advances and how alcohol and drug use increases vulnerability to sexual advances; and,

H) Teaches the importance of attaining self-sufficiency before engaging in sexual activity.

Additionally, since Title V funding is channeled through federal and state agencies, Keith does not include any faith based materials in either his student/parent presentations or his book, Fighting Back.

Keith can provide complete letters of recommendation from federal, state, and local school administrators from throughout the United States who have used his services in connection with Title V funding.
