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 Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
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.'
