I definitly say that there needs to be a separation of home and school in this case. If parents want to inform their kids about abstinence, then by all means, they are free to do so. It is their place to help their child to develope his or her morals and see what is best. However I don't think this is a place where a public institution, such as a school, should be involved. The school's primary focus is to add and develop where the parenting left off. I don't think making condoms available undermines the parenting at all, it's just a different way to tell teens to stay safe.
In the end, however, let's let the blame fall where it should: the teens. It's not the parent's or school's fault for the rise of STDs or pregnancies. Teens should take responsibility for their own actions. You can't say they didn't know because they weren't educated; anyone has access to the tools they need to be safe and responsible. It's time they stand up and act like the adults they are.
Q1: Should schools teach a sex ed class at all?
Q2: If so, what should be taught an why?
