The schools can teach health class which is what it was called back in my day of school, not a problem with health & the nature of child birth but I know there are some that do the condoms, pamphlets & the as long you as you protect yourself from pregnancy & STDs speech. Maybe I'm too old fashioned or maybe it's that I have daughters that I need brought up right like. Children needs their parents & grandparents morals nobody elses. I'm just very protective!!

I agree that you should teach your kids morals. The first education that a child gets comes from the home. Neither the gov't nor the church have any right to refuse to teach our children something that the need to survive in life.

BTW-Question for the OP. Would you rather you teach your children about the birds & the bees or a school district teaching them? I know for my wife & I we'd rather tell our kids where babies come from rather than a school district handing out condoms & saying "it's alright along as you use protection."

I currently don't have kids but if I did, I would teach them about sex but I would also be in favor of more sex education in school as well.

I'm still in my early 20s....it wasn't that long ago I was roaming the halls of a high school as a student wanting to have sexual relations with practically any girl I saw.


I don't know about anyone else in here but I know how teenagers think, I know that a young male fantasizes about sex more than any other thing.

And thus he needs to know that stress and urge has to be controlled, whether it's by masturbating or having actual sex, I'm not against either.

However, I wouldn't want my teenage son having sex because there are so many risks, but let's face it I can't be on him 24/7 and if he is in a situation where he's going to preform sexual acts I would want him to be protected.
