What should public schools teach our children about sex? It can be a complex question, especially when dealing with morals, social norms, pop culture, hormones and health. When students sit down for their sex education, should teachers embrace an abstinence-only policy?

Abstinence education is good. Abstinence-ONLY is bad.
Like most of the arguments from Lifeway, this badly confuses "abstinence education" with "abstinence-ONLY education." I think there are few out there who believe abstinence is a bad option or shouldn't be taught. The success of True Love Waits and other similar ideas is great... not that I believe that the wedding day is the right time to become sexually active, but because those involved are taking control of their sexuality through deliberate thought, which can only be good for them.
But abstinence-only education in schools is a different thing.
