When teaching our kids not to smoke cigs they show pictures of nasty lungs, when the teach about smokeless tobacco they show pictures of people missing part of their lips. We need to have a more real approach to the STD's.
Public schools should give information on STDs and how they are caught, but they should never enforce morality and say "don't have sex or you could end up like this!". Like I said, sexual morality is for the home and private schools to take care of.

You have to sadly admit that America does like to infuse morality on its population. Bush tried to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage which would have marked the first time discrimination was placed in the US Constitution. I for one find that disgusting. In Canada, it is legal for homosexual marriage on a federal level. I know a lot of gay couples are coming to Canada to get married. I hope the US does not start extraditing ministers for marrying gay American couples.
