Information about contraceptives should absolutely be taught in sex ed. I don't mind if abstinence is favored as the #1 method of birth control, especially for younger teens - but there are people out there who are going to have sex regardless of what they're taught, and it's not in society's best interests to deny them knowledge about, or access to, contraceptives.
I was taught about several different contraceptive methods in high school. Abstinence wasn't pushed - it was just one item on the list, although the teacher pointed out that it is the only method that provides 100% protection against pregnancy and STDs.
