That's exactly how my sex-ed classes were as a senior in a public high school 5 years ago. It was repeated many times that abstinence was the only foolproof way to NOT get pregnant or catch an STD. There were 2 teen mothers in the class who agreed to be object lessons in WHY teenagers shouldn't be having sex (very informative and convincing, BTW). We were informed about various contraceptive methods as well as their failure rates. We didn't actually have "hands-on" lessons like those I read about in this kind of article. The whole unit lasted maybe 2-3 weeks tops. The rest of the semester was on drug/alcohol education and healthy eating/exercise/general health.

Prior to late high school, the only sex ed in my district was a class on puberty that was taught in 5th grade. We were split into boys and girls and taught by the school nurse (for us girls) or the gym teacher (for the boys).

I don't know anyone in real life who has been through one of these "porno 101" sex ed classes. I do know that if they truly exist the way they're depicted, it's inappropriate and not something I would allow a child to attend.

It sounds as though the porno sex ed classes are very regional. Note the post above, seems from FL, about parents and local people getting involved and preventing Planned Parenthood (now why are the primary abortionists in the country in the schools anyway?) from doing the dirty work.

Here on the West Coast it is very bad. Probably more conservative areas haven't gotten on board yet. Another thing is the flagrant sex ed teachers - often outsiders like PP, or representatives from GLSEN and other homosexual groups are brought in in an undercover mode, and the parents are not notified - as a matter of stated policy - because the hedonists know parents would put their foot down. The hedonist activists know that once the kids hear and see the crap - their minds are polluted, and it is a lot hard to undo what they've put in there.
