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?

    This article speaks a lot of truth. I think parents know that their children aren't going to wait until marriage to have sex. I mean, they probably didn't themselves. They just wish that they would hold off until their kids are older and more mature to make those decisions. So teach Abstinense until the student is older, not until they are married.
