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?

Even as a "no" voter on this poll, I agree with this statement
I believe abstinence education should be emphasized because of the harmful emotional impact on immature kids that having sex at an early age in uncommitted relationships can have. There is no way you can take it back. Once done, its done. But that should not preclude factual presentation about contraception - kids are going to do this anyway - ultimately the choice will rest with them in a given situation. If they're going to do something stupid, at least let them know how to prevent spreading a disease or bringing a child into the world when they are completely unprepared.
