its not evil, it teaches kids about birth control and all the things necessary that some irresponsible parents dont care or feel necessary to talk about to their children. They do, if kids arent aware of birth control or the diseases that are out there then there is more chance that they will get pregnant or be infected with somthing later on. Its important for kids to know about these things and learn it from a parent or teacher not from what they hear older or other kids who also dont know any better tell them. Thats like a blind man leading another blind man. The best source is the parents and next teachers. KIds are curious about all this at a young age and it doesnt mean that this will make them go out and do it, all it will do is make them be informed. I know that is the reason that i was scared to have sex when i was a teenager, thanks to sex ed. my parents were too old fashioned and never talked to me about the dangers of sex when i needed to hear it. At 13 i already had a little boyfriend who wanted to experiment and i said no because of what i had learned from sex ed.

Why is sex vilified in the first place - why would the education of it be evil?
We let our young children shoot each other for hours on end through the media of video games and allow them to view all versions of violence (the news is the worst), yet we desperately wring our hands over the stress of knowing whether to educate them about sex?
Sex is the most natural experience known to humanity - yet it carries such potentially disastrous pitfalls. How can we possibly NOT educate them about it?
We need to lose the stigma that exists around sex and handle the topic with the maturity and responsibility it has so long been lacking! Sex is most definitely something kids need to not only be aware of, but be well informed about.
There are some very good books that delicately, and effectively explain the details for children. With some adult supervision, these books could be quite useful in their education.

Why do you call it a "necessary evil"? I never found out from my parents. This was before sex education is schools. I think, though, had I learned about it in school, I would have made far better choices as I grew up.
Sex is a beautiful thing that God has given us and you could sit down and explain it to your children so they have the ideas you would like to instill in them. Good luck

read michael foucaux. he explains all about how sexuality (especially in children) became such a horrible evil. the idea of sexuality as an evil is a very "western" view. sex hasnt changed... just the way we look at the knowledge of sex.
the sex education being in grade school right now is ridiculous and until people are able to discuss it openly, children will continue to get pregnant in middle school and hide what they do from their parents. i really suggest reading up on the ethnographies of tribes like the kikuyu and masai in kenya (while keeping an open mind on certain practices)... they offer a much different perspective on sexuality.

Surely its an evil for children. Its only needed for mature people and specialy b4 getting married. Some people say that its an education. There are many disciplines of education, but how many of us learing all branches of education. As children are not mature enough to understand the issue, therefore in the current era, the situation is worsening, as there teenage girls, becoming preg and that is result of this unwise, unneeded teaching.

Who says it is evil? Lack of sex education is an unnecessary evil. It should have always been taught. How are they supposed to deal with the changes, the urges, and the myths without sex education? And why do enough people think it is dirty or dangerous to question the need for sex education.
OOPS!!! Yes or no question? It isn't one. YES it is necessary, no it is not evil.

Children should be educated and informed about sex. If they are tought it is "naught and dirty", they develope complexes. Teaching "Family values" and "abstinance" don't work- our country has the highest teen pregnancy rate, and STD's/HIV is a real problem. Kids, should always be told the truth, and children are curious about sex: it's how they came to be. 10-12 isn't too young. You don't need to tell them positions or anything, but biological facts are just fine.

Yes, and they need to start early than that. My daughter is 8 and I talk to her about it already. I also think they need to teach more, scare these kids so they dont have sex. I can still remember having sex ed classes in school and somehow is was almost glorified. No wonder we had 13 pregnant seniors when I graduated.

Knowledge is never evil.
Ignorance is always evil.

i think its to young of an age for them to listen and watch about all that. there is no reason for them to see that...its gonna make them want to do it themselves...where they start to believe that if they "do it" then they are cool.
