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.

You and cyn... For god's sake. Nobody's saying to quit teaching math so we can teach sex ed instead! Jesus christ! Is it really that hard to admit you agree, you've got to pull this sort of nonsense out of your ass? Hey, keep on arguing just to argue, before long I'll start ignoring you outright and then you can claim victory.

I don't know what teachers you talk to but the curriculum is rather full, that's what all the teachers I talk to on a regular basis tell me. Most don't even have time to teach what's on that curriculum.
Something has to get short changed... and I'd rather that home economics is taught before sex ed is taught. Even understanding how much it costs to raise a child, since that's ultimately what is at stake here. Because even if you don't know how to drive a car, understanding that there is costs associated to owning, maintaining, and operating one is very eye opening to many people. They don't really go over that in driver's ed.
