i dont think schools should be teaching ANY sex eduction...that should be the responsibility of parents.
Why just sex, Pegg? Why not history, chemistry and math, as well? What's special about sex?
Are you advocating universal home schooling?
Seyorni raises a good point. Why should sex be treated any differently than any other subject?

I don't think sex ed is about this at all......they may teach my kids that they should experiment with sex while im teaching the opposite.

I don't think sex ed is about this at all.
What I recall is that it's about the biology, so that kids don't rely
upon bad info & make costly mistakes when the inevitable happens.
Yes, I agree that it should be...but when so many don't do it, the schools have had to fill the gap.
When a speech student in one of my classes did a speech on the importance of sex ed (in a community with a LOT of people opposed to anything but "Say no till you're married"), I asked students to close their eyes so they couldn't see how others replied and asked them to raise a hand if their parents had told them about sex.
And about 1/3 of a class of 25 raised their hands. This was in the early 1980's! Those who volunteered comments said they'd gotten what they knew from their friends.
The school library had one book that was about 30 years old and said virtually nothing but how lovely waiting until you were married was.
I'd bet that the numbers of parents who talk to their kids about sex hasn't changed a whole lot since then.
