Actually I think this is exactly backwards and should be the opposite. The topic of human sexuality, reproduction, and birth control (including, but not limited to, abstinence) are all valid clinical health issues that should be taught in school. Personal moral and religious beliefs are best taught at home or in the church.

I think the people advocating for abstinence-ONLY sex education are not doing it because they truly believe that abstinence is the BEST contraceptive and should be the only method taught because it is so effective. They advocate for it because they believe it is amoral for kids to be screwing. Let the schools teach the facts and let the parents teach the morality.
