Explanation:
What should public schools teach our children about sex? It can be a complex question, especially when dealing with morals, social norms, pop culture, hormones and health. When students sit down for their sex education, should teachers embrace an abstinence-only policy?

Abstinence-Only Programs Don’t Work
Agreed
I have to say the article is pretty much 100% correct. Abstinence only sex-ed programs don't work. The fact of the matter is that teens are going to have sex, and we need to make sure they know all the facts and consequences of their actions. Teens need to know what STDs are and how to prevent them if the have sex, and abstinence only sex-ed programs dont't get that message across.
