Right. I had sex education, too. And I agree, parents should teach their kids, but since many don't, or don't always give accurate information, the schools had to take it on. It's an economic issue when teens get pregnant. Very often, they end up on welfare and government aid, so it's the taxpayers who support that child. Of course, that happens with adults, too, and I'm not putting this all on teens, or teen girls. But this is at least one of the reasons schools began teaching it.
