It sounds like abstinence-based sex education is only a little worse than what me and my classmates had back in the late 60s or early 70s.

That quote about 'if the girl says "no", that's the one you want'. OMG. Abstinence-based sex ed is training stalkers and future rapists?

This is a major travesty, religious teachings, even if religion isn't specifically mentioned, have no place in any public school. Public schools should be about teaching and learning known facts, and helping the kids to learn. They should not be teaching 2000 year old superstitions and doing intentional harm which later needs unlearning.

Homosexuality needs to be discussed non-judgmentally, not given a passing and insulting mention and move on as if heterosexuality is the only orientation worth discussing. If one partner is homosexual, and the other heterosexual, you are not sexually compatible. Same goes with a sexual and an asexual. These kinds of potential mis-matches fail the 'pursuit of happiness' goal.

Sexual education should be about more than potential disease and birth control, and it should not be about fear and contempt.

If discussion of abstinence occurs, it should only be in the context of other information and approaches.
