I teach high school students, and no offense to any of my students, but even with the best tools available most of my students wouldn't have the ability to make the right decisions needed for a sane, reasonable sex life. Teenagers don't have what it takes to make a rational risk analysis. You underestimate your students. I would bet a large sum of money that many of them COULD make the right decision. As a long-time Freeper, I am becoming increasingly bitter about some of the hard-line opinions on this forum that leave no room for common sense. When we believe in our religion so blindly that we ignore reality, we become no better than our enemies. Western culture has changed from the one that many of you grew up in. Nobody takes any personal responsibility anymore. Why? Because it's all too easy to say "It's not my problem." The people here that are advocating only abstinence education are in denial. You can't just say "Sex is the devil and will get you killed," and be done with it. Whether or not you educate about sex, it is human nature to want to explore it. Even if NOTHING was said about any sexual topics in schools, and the media still had discretion, you would not change the fact that it would happen. The Europeans don't have it right, obviously, but we don't in North America either. What is the answer? I don't know. But it's not the way things are currently done, and it's certainly not to deny that sex exists.

Sex is the devil and will get you killed,

LOL!!! Your government school systems actually "teach" that?!? The ACLU will put a stop to religion ("the devil") being brought into the classroom. Please give them a call to straighten this out.

No wonder so many kids graduate unable to read and write - they have government school curriculum that focus on silliness rather than reading/writing/arithmetic. And why wouldn't a competent teacher quit is they had to tell kids that "sex is the devil and will get you killed?" What kind of moron "teachers" are these?

This is about as bad as expelling government school kids for drawing pictures of guns!
