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?

Parents Want a Strong Abstinence Message
The Child's Well- being is a Parent's Concern
In the article, "Parents want a Strong Abstinence Message" the Christian organization of Lifeway show statistics that 90% of parents want an abstinence education because it is the best for the well-being of their child's health.
This strong percentage of parents are the body that help fund the educational system through their taxes. Since the tax money is coming from their pockets, they should be paying for the education that they want their child to recieve. It is very important to keep the wants of the parent satisfied because if they are not satisfied, they will complain and cause problems for the school and state.
As parents, they will always have a mind set to be protective over their little baby no matter how old they are. Parents do not want school systems advocating that sex is allowed if it is protected because that puts their child in danger. Many parents raise their children with values, and do not want schools to tarnish the values that parent s have spent years on teaching their child. Sexual activity is risky and unsafe, and that will cause a parent to worry about their children's well being and health.
