I wouldn't mind this being taught in Sex Ed in schools but I would like to see by its side a letter from a person (of any gender) who truly had been raped and what they went through.

We should educate people not to falsely report crimes and how damaging it is. But we should also educate people about how truly awful those crimes are - which, of course, is why it is so devastating to be wrongfully accused of them.
