    This article talks about how Sex Ed in the United States continues to lag behind other industrialized nations. There's a lack of comprehensive sex education, with individual states picking and choosing what schools are allowed to teach and how teachers can respond to questions from students.

    I agree that in many ways our sex education can and should be a lot better. i found this to be insightful thank you, good find!

    Sex education tells the bare minimum and it's normally directed towards the males. I believe that our sex education system should be more about how to be safe, how to protect yourself and others, and it should be more inclusive.

    I agree sex education should be and can be more better. Every one deserves better information and to be more inform.

    I would also have to agree that there is a lack of sex education and it could be better.

    Sex-Ed could be so much better in many parts of the U.S. The fact that states that teach abstinence only have higher rates of unwanted pregnancy shows that the lack of sexual education is detrimental.

    I agree with the lack of sexual education in U.S schools. There definitely needs a push to educate the younger generations on how to take care of themselves and prevent problems for them later on.

    I took Sex-Ed in high school and it definitely taught me a lot about things I was clueless about but some of the information was very contradicting like stay abstinent but be safe if you do.

    I think that Sex-Ed should be available to all students since so many teens just don't know how their bodies work. I've never even had the option to take Sex-Ed, but I think I know enough about it.

    I agree with this article and how students should be allowed to take Sex-Ed in order to be informed of their own bodies. It should also be just as important as keeping the opposite sex safe as well.

    I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.

    It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

    This article talks about how New York City's public middle schools and high schools are now required to take sex ed classes. This article talks about this new mandate and its implications and the effects that it might have. The article also provides reasons on why it was decided that sex ed should be a required class and its benefits.

    Very interesting! I can honestly see valid points on both sides of the argument. As a parent, I feel it my responsibility to educate my children about sex. However, there are many parents who do not take the time to educate their children. This is a tough situation...not as cut and dry as other topics on this board.

    I don't think this is a bad idea. I took sex education in middle school and am almost 30 now. I never did understand why it was phased out. Sex is real and can be dangerous and young adults should know all that comes with participating in something so mature.

    Sex ed should be a choice for kids to take in accordance to their parents, for myself when I was younger we had to have a signed paper from our parents giving us permission to take part in the sex ed class and for those parents who said no and wanted to teach there kid themselves went to another room. I see both sides to this article and its a very well informative piece.

    I think a semester of sex ed would be great. When I was in school it was just a 55 minute lecture with a couple of videos. I understand why some people may be upset with this, however, those people must understand that not every child has an involved parent who are capable or willing to educate their children. I think safe sex is integral for our children to learn. I believe it could help lower the stats of sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancies.

    The fear over elementary schoolers learning sex ed reveals some serious issues with the way we approach sexuality. Some think that by teaching kids about sex ed they are going to become "impure."
