If so they are getting paid for it. I am not sure I understand why you think it would be immoral anyway. MY BOX

Did you mean immoral or amoral?
What morals would it violate? Then again how does someone talking about the breeding habits of humans avoid the social implications we attach to it?
We live in a society where the majority of the population is very removed from nature, but even prudes cannot run around with a black note card and censure every pair of flies mating in mid-air.
It is unfortunate that there are plenty of children that are raised by parents that were mature enough to make babies but not mature enough to talk to their children about sex.

No. The teaching of the basics of reproduction and giving teenagers needed information on birth control and sexuality is not immoral. It could become immoral if the teacher insisted on avoiding subjects such as abstinence. Or if the teacher refused to recognize that some religions object strongly to certain practices such as homosexuality or abortion

No, if you knew the kinds of things that young people think they know about sex, it would appall you. I work in a middle school, kids this age are having sex, not all, but some are. And the things they believe to be true would make you laugh and then cry. We have mandatory Family Life classes for 7th graders, but still its not enough. Children are having unprotected sex, is it wrong to teach them how to protect themselves?

You changed you pic! I think I liked it better before...
Of course they're not immoral. They're doning a good thing by teaching kids how not to get pregnant and get STDs. Pretending kids aren't having sex is not going to stop them from having sex.

I don't think they're immoral. My opinion is that if parents were doing their job, when things like this came up in school, the kids would already know.
Parents should really step up, even if it's something they're not in agreeance with, I mean, sex is real, premarital sex happens, and just ignoring it does not make it go away.

In a nutshell/in my opinion: NO!
Indeed, it could be argued that NOT teaching about sex is immoral. To be immoral is to go "wrong"- and there is no easier way to go "wrong" than to remain willfully ignorant regarding the details & ramifications of one of life's greatest realities (especially in the face of abundant/offered knowledge and today's modern sexual realities).
Remember: "The beginning of wisdom is recognition of one's own ignorance."

Depends on what they teach about it. Nothing wrong with teaching the biological facts. Older children and teenagers need to understand those. The issue may come in when the teacher begins to deal with the moral and social rules for sex.

They might be but not because they teach sex education. The two things are necessarily linked.

Of course not. Hiding behind ignorance doesn't help anyone. There are so many sexually transmitted diseases, these children need to know about the facts of life (and death concerning AIDs). I think it's immoral to hide the facts from our children.
