10 year olds do not need sex education
I note your piece on the "bad education" at the Woman's office. the page is for "women" from 10-16. Women from 10-16 have sex, but it is a small minority. It is simply not clear that omitting the information about sex from a page intended for 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 year olds constitutes "bad education".
After all, most kids accessing this page are likely to be on the lower end. Do you wish to furnish 10 year old girls with information about sex?I don't think so. Bad idea.
In fact, the whole piece is just more liberal whining that kids need sex education. As a parent who put my girls through a very explicit education process in my church (unitarian-universalist; they discuss everything, penetration, lesbian sex, male homosexual sex, etc), I would not want my 10 year old child to be exposed to information about safe sex. 10 year olds are too young.
