This is the problem with Christian notions of proper sex. Which do you think is more sexually charged; the tenth grader or the literature?

I know how sexually charged tenth graders are. That's even more good reason not to give them sexually charged literature.

Why? Is there something wrong with sex?

Is that seriously the extent of your argument? "They like it, therefore we should keep it from them?"

It's hilarious: do you actually live in a world where every kid in school isn't connected to the internet through at least one device that is perpetually with them?

I'm not sure what people think censoring content will do. Teenagers don't have sex because they read something in a book or saw something on TV. They have sex because their bodies have reached the developmental stage where they can start procreating. They may not really be fit to do it, but leaving them ignorant of it all doesn't help.

Once again, this then requires the bible to be banned in schools

Let's not forget that the "sexually-charged" accusation wasn't the only objection that "some parents" made. They also stapled "mocked the Christian religion" to it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

WHat's wrong with that? I mock Christianity every bloody day.

No. Not under the proper circumstances.

Would you want the school to give them porn to read since they're going to read it anyway?

We don't have to leave them ignorant.
