Should 'Abstinence-Only' Sex-Ed be Taught in Public Schools?

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?

    Agreed...

    I have to say this article has a bunch of truth behind it. Sex education programs cannot stop the spread of STDs or pregnancies amoung teens alone. Popular culture and the morals of the kids are some of the key factors on whether or not that particular teen will engage in sex before marriage. I'm not saying sex education doesn't work, I'm just saying you have to do more than just attend a class.
