Some readers are concerned that sex education programs serve as a de facto "green light" for teen sex, and feel these programs "push" the positive aspects of sex and ignore the moral weight of sexual decision-making. That fear is not borne out by facts.

...always surprising how small a part of life is taken up by meaningful moments. Most often they're over before they start even though they cast a light on the future and make the person who originated them unforgettable."

There, Attie submerged images under the city's main canal to commemorate the role Denmark played in rescuing the lives of its Jewish inhabitants. Many Jews were ferried to safety through fishing routes, so that water and light become working metaphors of representation and remembrance. The piece also thematizes the more recent and problematic immigration of refugees from the Balkans and former Soviet Union seeking asylum in Denmark. More personal is the series Untitled Memory (Projections), in which photographs of the artist's family and friends are cast...
