Well, if you're too stupid to know that, then surely that proves that you are too stupid to teach your kids about sex, which is why the schools should. Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina. This is teaching. Boys should put their penis into every vagina they can. That is advocacy.

Yes, that was the point I think Christian was making about being involved enough to find out what is being taught. Parents should have the right to have their child exempted from the class without repercussions if they don't like what is being taught or if they feel like it is the parents responsibity to do the teaching.

Exactly. If the school has to be transparent to parents, that only makes it more likely they will teach the facts without any sort of advocacy that parents may object to.
