  • Serious question

    I am ambivalent about sex ed, but is it the contention of the those in the pro column that without sex ed, today's teens and (gulp) tweens would have no clue about condoms, the pill, STD's, etc.? I know what the data suggest, but that makes no sense to me. We've got MTV, movies, the Internet, and kids can't learn about birth control and safe sex on their own? I don't get it.
