What kind of sex education should public schools offer?

1 - Abstinence-only: It's the only 100% effective method of pregnancy prevention.

2 - Comprehensive education: Stress abstinence, but teach other methods of birth control, too.

3 - Birth control only: Teens won't abstain, so skip that and only teach about condoms, etc.

4 - None: Schools should not teach any form of sex education.


This is the question posted in my local paper - Which option do you choose?



#2 - I believe sex education classes are not anything other than information. I see nothing wrong in those classes, as I attended the classes along with my daughter and have always talked to her about sex, abstinence, health, science, the anatomy, diseases, and the like. Instilled in her that for every action there is a reaction, be it positive or negative. What do you think?

I am also a believer that it takes a village to raise a child. (jmo)







Why can't sex ed include all of the above. Why is it an either or?




If it's 4- None: Schools should not teach any form of sex education.

you dont need to worry about the eithers or ors.


My mom's form of sex education was not a healthy one so I would lean towards a factual type teaching for kids including all options and the importance of personal responsibility.

OK,
lets spend the next ten years discerning the difference between fact and opinion, then we can spend another 10 arguing over differences in opinions!

The options provided did not include one for all of the above, out of the options available, which would you chose?
