    Sex! Isn't something people OUT of marriage should engage in especially teaching young children who shouldn't know anything about sex! I turned out screwed up because I was raped at eight years old and well corrupted!

    I believe that a graduated program of sex education should begin in the early grades so that the kids clearly understand that certain kinds of 'touching' should be reported to their parents or teachers. They should learn that they can say "NO!" loudly and clearly when anyone attempts to touch them in 'private' places.

    As the kids mature, they should learn the consequences of sex and ways to protect themselves. Educational programs based solely on abstinence have not been shown to be as effective as those with a more comprehensive scope.

    Kids know about sex long before it's taught to them by schools. I think sex education should have it's part in a health class of some sort (which should be required in early stages, not just having 1 semester of it in high school) but I don't think it needs to be secluded into it's own branch.

    Yes Sex Education should be a required course in Public school, for the simple reason that it can help decline teenage pregnancy & STD'S. Many people have gotten pregnant or have been infected with Sexually Transmitted Disease, because they dont know how to protect themselves when they have sex. This course should be taught to students from ages 13-18. Seriously, there are so many people out there that dont even know how to put a condom on properly. If Sex Education is taught in public schools im sure teenage pregnancies, STD'S and High School dropout rates are going to decline.

    No. I do not like the idea that everything should be taught in school. I feel that self learning is very important in life.
