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 doesnt really make sense to me.
Sex-ed...?
You are exactly right. All of the subjects listed seemed more like self help book titles than something that had to do with sex-ed. Yes, they all have at least some tiny relation to sexual behavior but do not educate students about sex in any way, shape, or form. Also, those listed are all very subjective. You can't be taught about love, and similar emotions...you just can't. Emotions cannot be taught and relationship guidelines should not be taught either. Those topics belong either in church or between parents and children. The school should in no way teach students about love and relationships, other than how to keep themselves safe.
