Sex Education should be taught in public schools.

"I. Unbiased means teaching the facts. The various examples you posted are no facts they are clear over exaggerations. 1. How to rape 2. Why smoking is good 3. Do drugs 4. Become Anorexic 5. Surpass the brink of obesity In cases were both sides have some valid points, such as two politicians debating about the economy or foreign policy, then that's unbiased because it is presenting facts and both points of view. In the points above, the facts about smoking, drugs, obesity, anorexia, and rape are all obviously clear - they end up hurting you one way or another; any other information given would be lies and turn from an unbiased education to propaganda. Moreover, the above examples make the implication that sex can be ranked among the list above, ranked with smoking, drugs, obesity as if it was something that can lead to a cancer or other disease. Sex is proven to be a necessary bodily function and a person actually NEEDS to have sex for their own health and to continue life. To rank sex or even imply that sex could be ranked with the above just shows how little knowledge of the subject you actually have. You also say "All these things are good from the perspective of the person doing…" I know many people who wished they didn't smoke, could control their sexual impulses, weren't addicted to drugs and are trying to quit, and want to loose weight. I will give you that anorexia is the exception. " ITS NOT CLEAR DENYING ANY INFORMATION IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS UNJUST. ADVOCATING THIS IS RIDICULOUS. " In a perfect world, every parent would pass on the knowledge they need to conduct safe and happy sex lives, but in reality we know this doesn't happen. Talking about sex with a child, especially your own child can be very difficult. Parents, more often than not, like to live in their bubble and think every other kids is doing it but not mine. This is what ultimately led to sex education, parents weren't teaching it and somebody had to. Here's my theory, if cavemen were able to figure out "how to do it" then two teenagers growing up in a world were sex permeates almost all of our most daily activities, from television commercials and advertisements to asking were babies come from, they will find out about sex. The problem is they will know about it, but not know everything that they need to conduct sex safely. They learn about friends who don't know what they're talking about, or inexperienced older brothers and sisters, or the occasional stranger or teacher. 2 out of 3 will give misinformation. Unless a child in forbidden from leaving the house or watching TV one way or another sex will come up, that isn't even a question, even if you put a guy and a girl on a deserted island they will figure it out. That means they need to be prepared and prepared properly. Abstinence programs have been attempted to no avail. One study done in Texas by the British Medical Journal revealed that "before the abstinence education 23% of ninth-graders have had sex, 28% did after the program was finished. " Then another study by the Center for Disease Control found that those who took "virginity pledges" delayed in any sexual activity by 6 months. But after that, they discovered oral and anal sex, which are apparently still ok somehow, and didn't know a thing about the use of condoms, birth control, or any other forms of safe sex. They were also more likely to get a STD than those who had a real sex education. Eventually 88% go on to have pre-marital sex. Even the ones who remain virgins until marriage, they still eventually have sex, and just because your married doesn't mean you're safe from STDs. Furthermore, going back to my contentions about the difference between and unbiased education and teaching the facts. According to a Washington Post study, in abstinence only education they are actually "taught" Half the gay male teenagers in the U. S. have AIDS. (Another "fact" is that only homosexuals can get AIDS. ) Touching a persons genitals can result in pregnancy (there are other variations like oral sex, masturbation, and the like could do the same). A forty three-day-old fetus is a "thinking person" (their brain has sometimes not even developed by this point). AIDS can be spread through sweat and tears Condoms fail to protect the transmission of AIDS 31% of the time – the actual number is 3% according to the Center for Disease control. Women who have abortions are "more prone to suicide" and as many as 10% become sterile. Just slightly biased don't you think? " Lot of problems but teaching kids will not fix them. "Finally, a word on morals. It might be against one person's morals to teach sex education in schools, but I know for sure that that isn't everyone's morals. Because there isn't a definite majority (like 98% lets say), since there are conflicting morals, the facts should be taught at schools and the morals taught at home. The schools has no right to preach to me about sex when I and my parents would much rather I learn about safe practices instead of propaganda spread by these self-proclaimed "moral entrepreneurs. "" Teaching exposes kids to sex which is immidietely bad.
