Kids have been pretty much raising themselves with the help of the media for a while now. MOST kids don't seem to have the kind of parental influence you are talking about, CERTAINLY not the kids who need that guidance most and are most at risk for diseases like AIDS.
Without a PARENT there these kinds of marketing strategies for things like safe sex are IMPERATIVE to not spreading this disease in our community.

Whether parents are involved or not, is it the schools responsibilty to condone and promote sexual behavior among children. Kids smoke weed so should schools dispense top paper?
We are only creating a larger, more ingrained moral vacuum for society that is getting more irreversible everyday. It amazes me that we can push for condoms in school but as soon as someone invokes the name of God or any kind of morality on public property, people lose their minds, but yet we promote sexual behavior in minor children in the guise of "safe sex".
You cannot placate or coddle self-destructive behavior. It must be dealt with and stopped. Or does that take too much real involvement.
