As I think about it I cannot say that I am really surprised to see where sexuality in schools has brought our kids today.
When I was a member of the 'school' community I couldn't get enough information on sex nor access to it. I thought that having all of the secrecy and roadblocks to issues of a sexual nature were frustrating at best. Health class had little if anything useful for our age group, what they did provide was ancient and boring and really didn't educate me any further than what I had already learned from Hustler and pornos that I had seen up to then.
Today's kids are OUT OF CONTROL in regards to sexuality and the schools are providing a larger initiative to combat this. The war is not going well.
As a parent, I have determined what the problem is. Sex, as a topic, is overrated for kids. The source of the problem is the lack of parenting; either by ignorance, ambivalence or just failure to parent. My own parents avoided the issue, primarily out of ignorance and shame. The road to correct this was long and cost a lot.
Schools were not meant to replace the parent, the parent was meant to compliment the school.
Until parents drop the pride and take a stand the war will be lost.
