I support …
I support comprehensive sex education. Everyone is going to have sex eventually anyway and lying to kids today is only going to hurt them in the end, as shown in Georgia. I think that the abstinence-only programs are counter-productive and there is no evidence that they are effective. However, there have been fifteen studies that prove that comprehensive sex education is in fact effective. Despite what people might think, there is proof that it deters sexual activity.
