Sex Education in Public Schools

[DigitalAngel126]

I'm writing a paper about sex education in public schools. The statement that I'm evaluating is: "Organisms must reproduce for the species to survive and yet many young people know very little about sexual reproduction. I am therefore comfortable with the concept of teaching sex education in our public schools."

I know what I think about it, but part of the assignment is getting opinions from sources other than ourselves, our classmates, roommates, parents, siblings, or significant others. That leaves a lot of people to chat with, eh? In any case, to those of you that are willing to bite:

Do you think sex education should be present in public schools? Why or not?


Thanks!
