I guess I'm in the minority when I say no.

I think sex ed should only be about disease and pregnancy prevention. "Emotional" concerns and the mechanics of it aren't something you can teach, and even if you could, I don't think public schools should be teaching it.

To be clear, I don't think they should discuss the mechanics of heterosexuality either. This has nothing to do with homosexuality and more to do with what we should be focusing on.

Abstinence-only education is foolish, but teaching people about their "identity and relationships" seems like an incredible waste of time in an area where teachers already have too little time to teach the basics of literacy.

I'm more concerned about producing safe children who can read and write than safe children who've been taught "topics of identity and relationships", but barely understand how to read or write.

And if you don't think literacy is a problem or that children today aren't already undereducated, then you haven't seen a high school lately.
