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?

EXACTALY!
There ya go! A little of both. When I got sex-ed, my teacher didn't take a stand point on either way. She explained about the boy parts and the girl parts. She told us about STDs and the methods with which to avoid them, and she said the best way was abstinence but also told us about condoms and such. It was an informative course without pushing the matter either way.
