I agree. However, condom use is common knowledge. In this day and age I find it difficult to imagine a person wanting to engage in sex that misinformed.

How about this one: you get your girlfriend pregnant. While she's nursing your child, can she get pregnant again? The correct answer is YES, she most definitely can. But you'd be SHOCKED how many people Stella sees who are bringing their second baby in for care who thought she was infertile while nursing. These aren't dumb people. Operating from ignorance, but who's fault is that? Theirs? Or the school system that has utterly failed them by humping a moral agenda in their education to the exclusion of any actual education?
There are people out there who think AIDS can only be transmitted by genital contact. There are people out there who think douching with coca-cola will prevent pregnancy. There are people out there that as a society we're FAILING because our education policy got set by fundamentalists rather than by educators. I think you're on board with me about this, ace... Unless your beloved leader's opinion just got more important than your own, that is.

I guess the question is this: Can someone understand sex education, if they don't have a basic education? I would suggest that schools focus on a basic education first, if people can not read and comprehend scientific information they will never be able to understand the risks and consequences associated with sexual activity. Unfortunately, this is not the age of "free love" or what it was like thousands of years ago.
