Why don't you tell me how what I said was so terrible. What is so terrible about putting the responsibility into the parents hand. The parents who raised and cared for this kid. It is a parents responsibility to keep a child safe. Part of that safety is talking about sex.

Wow.. that's all I have to say to you. Wow.
What's so terrible is you'd rather have the school teach the least practiced form (and therefore least effective) of birth control, abstinence, but have parents teach about contraceptives, wasting my tax dollars in the process. I see absolutely no logic in that except that you want Christians to dominate our schools with their rhetoric.

Schools are centers for education. In this day in age, with so many parents being forced to take dramatic steps just to keep working, they aren't exactly around as often as they used to be. Therefore, the relationship between child and parent isn't quite what it used to be. I'd send my kids to school to learn everything they can, not simply academics. As a parent, of course it'd be my job to teach my children as well, but it should be supplementary to what they learn in school, not contrary or in spite of.

In this day and age, if you don't go to school as much as you possibly can, you're largely screwed, so I think I'd prefer it if they taught as much as humanly possible. I'm actually surprised that most dont teach about religions in more depth, that's something that REALLY needs to be taught.
