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?

Teens also ignore calls for chastity
Just as some teenagers ignore other health warnings, so some are going to ignore warnings against pre-marital sex. Educators have a responsibility to all teenagers, not just the ones who will heed the warnings about sexual contact with others. There are students who will rely on chastity to keep themselves safe. However, not all will be able to resist temptation. In those cases, they need to know how they can protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.
