Sex Education that’s the wrong education

Now please don't get the title wrong, I strongly believe in sex education to make sure that those that will be having sex later in life know everything that's going to be going on, and are completely safe from what they're doing in the first place. However there is always a right way to teach, and a wrong way (http://www.fresnobee.com/2011/05/12/2386629/parents-criticize-clovis-sex-ed.html), and one of the wrong ways to do that is not only to use out dated information, but also at the same time, to let a member of the church (any church), especially one that was at the top of the echelon, write something up that shouldn't be used at all in the first place.

 

Now mind you I'm very strong person when it comes to the separation of church and state and that includes the schools as well, though people may disagree with me on that and that's their right in the first place. However when we happen to be getting taught information that's not only outdated, but would be compared to a scare tactic, then it's something that should be seriously looked over period. However this person is stating that his information is not only accurate, but up to date as well. Well if that was the case, then how come three other schools have given up using this "Teen Choices" program at all, to me that means that not only does it not work, it shouldn't be used at all.

 

Personally I believe that there should only be two sources for teaching about any kind of sex education, and all in a safe way and environment, both by the schools as well as by the parents. However in today's world (and this also comes from experience from back when I was in school as well), the parents will more often then not lobe off teaching kids sex education to the school, which won't inform them on everything, and that's where the parents need to come in on that. You see the schools will only teach on the stuff that the law allows them to teach on, however there's other things that need to also be covered as well and that's where the parents should be coming in in the first place. After all, if they did that, then we wouldn't be having the problems with teen pregnancy that we've been having for the last couple of years at the current time right now. Too bad that no one will ever listen to me at all.
