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?

Should 'Abstinence-Only' Sex-Ed be Taught in Public Schools?
come on
I'm a little sci-fi. All girls or boys should have an implant at birth, almost like a tubal clip. After the age of 20 if they both have a job for 5 yrs and have a steady relationship for 5 yrs then they can be granted access to having children. They don't have to be rich. Just committed. There are too many kids with no dads. Too many nut jobs for moms. I had my first at 19yrs old with no direction. I like to think I was a good mom, but in hindsight I sucked. Now I have another 15 yrs later and have the chance to do it right. Or should I say with more maturity. Teenagers are going to have sex regardless. So fix the problem.

Nut job = Mom
That's what happens to people when they get almost no sleep, have milk shlurping out their boobs, and hormones raging. Just when that subsides, there's the constant "AHHHH...what are you Doing?!" running through minds as they're running after the fast-footed child, wiping poop off a butt, washing a billion articles of clothing, and listening to the wails of a child seeking independence and understanding of the world.
of Course too many moms are nut-jobs. It should be part of the job description. ;p

What gives you the right?
Honestly, what gives you the right to decide when people get to have children? While I'd agree with some sort of control on the number of children we can have, and change as a culture, honestly? Forcing jobs and steady relationships in return for children? How un-American is that?
