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
Yes, but...
I have to say that if I was a parent I would want a strong abstinence from sex message sent to my kids too. Parents want their kids to refrain from sex until they are married because they know that is the best way to keep away from STDs. The problem with abstinence only sex-ed programs is they don't teach kids how to prevent pregnancies or the spread of STDs. School need to use a sex-ed program that will benifit the student body as a whole, and abstinent only sex-ed programs are not the way to do that.
