I agree with you completely. The '50's and '60's that comprised my K-12 education addressed sexuality as the difference between boys and girls, physically. Nothing more. There are so many other sources for understanding sexuality that I find it more than odd to demand that it be part of the necessary curriculum.

Obviously, I am 'old school.' The 3 R's may not have been the best emphasis of all that a pre-adult needed when leaving highschool. On the other hand, we "boomers" haven't done too badly.
