I disagree that having sex education in the schools is "teaching" or
"enabling" teens to break the law.  They were doing just fine breaking
the law before sex education ever showed up.

I also disagree with a number of posters that things are much different
in the 90's than in the 60's.  Sorry, it's YOUR perspective that's changed,
life, relationships etc tend to run along the same lines.  Like lots of
these arguements posted here.  I've heard them all before- in fact, I 
LIVED in them.  Back in the 60's when I was in elementary school, I had
good upstanding John Birch Society parents.  What did that mean?  Well, since
sex education was obviously a communist plot, I was the one child who had
to sit in the office and do my math homework while the other 60 or so 5th
graders had sex ed (from what I gleaned from the other kids, it wasn't all
that exciting, just learning your basic body parts, not what to do with
them).  Of course, my parents never bothered to teach any of us kids
either, so we picked things up as we went along, admittedly with no horrible
consequences.  I think we were lucky though, and plan to teach my kids "the
facts" from day 1.  

Remember, rock music and long hair are also communist plots, be aware ;-)!
