I tend to agree with you, but the kids havign sex is the smokescreen that hides the real issue.
because SOME 11/12 year olds may have had sex, they want to program EVERY 11 and 12 year old to be ready for sex. AND they want to be the ones to teach them.
again, I wonder what kind of adult feels a need to discuss sex with other people’s minor children...
I wonder what kind of a school thinks that it's not OK to sing Christmas carols, but it *is* ok to talk about sex. Further, I wonder what makes a school think that teachers who can't teach kids to read and write still are qualified to teach SexEd.
I personally don't mind sex education at school once the child has reached an appropriate maturity level and the parents agree to the curriculum. Children need to know about the consequences of sex, including pregnancy, STDs, AIDS and the like. They also need to understand that abstinence is the only way to prevent such problems. Such education should never in any way, shape or form condone or encourage sexual activity, but children at some point do need to understand these things.
With that in mind, one cannot come to any other conclusion than that this program is completely irresponsible because birth control on its own does not prevent any of the other problems related to sex. I agree with your point about "what kind of adult..." but I am going to add my own conclusion. These adults are incompetent at best and perverts at worst for encouraging any sexual activity in children.
