Lizzie, protecting people from disease can never be a bad thing. Providing potentially life-saving information can never be a bad thing. There has always been teenage sexual activity and pregnancy, and I doubt if it's actually increasing. Instilling a sense of informed responsibility in young people is the best thing society can do, in my opinion, and that seems to be what they are trying to do with sex education.

Daisybell, thanks for the blast of reality.
