Wat people want to say is "we can't stop you, so protect yourself from disease and if you still happen to get pregnant Planned Parenthood is there to get you an abortion if you'd like." Who knows? Maybe you're right about the schools' role in all this. It's really the responsibility of the parents. I was brought up to view sex as a loving experience between a husband and wife. Now most kids are brought up to view sex as something we do just like all the other animals and it's also really scary because you can catch some terrible disease, so be careful. That's pretty much how the schools will treat it if we can't recommend abstinence or any other moral advice.
You're right, it is the parents responsibility. But if you haven't noticed, the teen pregnancy rate is out of control in the decidedly Christian U.S., and guess what, none of the countries that have this problem under control preach abstinence.
It's amazing to me how Christians never fail to bring up the abortion topic, especially when someone questions the biblical god's morals, but they are so damn uptight about sex that, despite how much they like use the supposed slaughter of the unborn to make a political point, they can't embrace a pragmatic approach to the issue if it means actually being open about what goes on with the penises and vaginas.
Stop trying to have your cake and eat it too.
