| 76. Sex ed doesn't say that you SHOULD have sex. |
|
It informs kids of the consequences of sex should they choose to have it. It also teaches them the best way to avoid those consequences should they choose to have sex. You are confusing sex ed with sex advocacy. Without sex ed there will be lots more unwanted pregnancies and a far greater rate of transmission of STDs. It's unequivocally a good thing.
