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?

Should 'Abstinence-Only' Sex-Ed be Taught in Public Schools?
For those who think abstinence only programs arent smart
Read this book: THE MYTH OF SAFE SEX, by John Ankerberg and John Weldon
Excellent book for all parents but highly recommended for Christian parents. This book was very beneficial to me as I am studying the effects of Planned Parenthoods involvement in sex- education in the public school system. This book is chucked full of statistics that will shock even the learned reader on Aids and the devastation that has occured because of the sexual revolution mainly in our school systems. The numbers of youth that are infected today will break your heart and if that statistic alone does not cause you to get involved by either monitoring what your childs school is teaching in Health and Sex Education or by doing the best thing, in my opinion,and remove your child from the secular authorities that are ruining the minds, hearts, and spirits of America's children . I give this book a 5 for its efforts to tell the whole story and to try and prevent further deaths from this sexual holocaust killing innocent children who have been taught that sex is safe and this book will show that it is anything but safe.

Birth control
The problem with abstinence only sex-ed is it leaves out any discussion of natural family planing. Women are then left with the one sided aproach of Planed Parenthood.

even married couples
Indeed, even for married couples there are reasons why having children is to be avoided. A couple that already has as many children as they can afford (or cannot yet afford to have children) benefits from family planning assistance.
