Should 'Abstinence-Only' Sex-Ed be Taught in Public Schools?
Can't control them...
I don't want my kids to have sexual intercourse until they're married, but at the same time I know I can't control everything they do. As much as it scares me as a father to know that they might make poor choices, it would scare me even more if those choices were made without all of the facts. Abstinence-only sex ed simply does not provide an objective look at all of the facts. Period.
