Put the adults making the rules through it, so they see what's going to be taught, and perhaps then they'll realize that, "Hey, if I'd known all this I might not have had that child with that sailor I met at the bar that night after Woodstock." or, "Wow, I wouldn't have the clap right now, had I known about con-dom rubber sheaths, shoot man." or, "That would not have been a whoops. It would've been an "oh yeah!" They should have adult sex ed.

I'm glad to hear that other resources are available aside from school-based programs. Mad: I support the teaching of sex ed, I don't really want to teach it, though! I think it'd be pretty awkward to be the teacher, putting a grape-flavored condom on a banana in front of a bunch of 15-year olds. lol. :-P Janet: I guess being a UU has its benefits, eh?

Hott! But yeah, my school had good sex ed, and it was really valuable stuff - it helped me realize that STDs were something to actually worry about, and so that one should be sure to use a condom even if you're on other birth control, and that you should be regularly tested for STDs if you're sexually active. It also taught me that a 75% effectiveness rate doesn't mean you'll get pregnant 25% of the time you have sex using that method :P Or you could be a sex-ed teacher instead. Hott!

Kids are going to have sex no matter what. The schools (or, actually, the states) get to choose whether they have it in a risky way with tons of guilt, or in a safer way with more happy feelings. My school district had abstinence-only sex ed, but I got very excellent comprehensive sex ed elsewhere (church, strangely enough). I am very, very glad today that I was taught what I need to know.
