Personally I don't think it's the job of the government to teach sex education in public schools because their parents are too lazy, stupid, or scared to do it themselves.




I don't think that it's the school/governments job to do that either. Again I think that's a parents role.

Unfortunately every kid in the country doesn't have two parents who are always going to be around to mentor their children. Guess what, shit happens. Who is going to teach those kids about sex education or drugs, they'll have to learn that information elsewhere, so shouldn't it be from trained educators rather than just random people on the streets? We shouldn't punish kids just because of irresponsible parenting or circumstances that are out of a person's control.
