Abstinance only education

Interesting conversation at Liberal College Kid, where some of my friends post. Lots of good stuff in the comments.

Someone just compared sex to gun use:

I’m fine for sex education in the class room, as long as it also incorporates mandatory weapons training, responsible wine tastings, and the rules for low-speed games of vehicular “chicken.”

Tongue somewhat-in-cheek, I realize, but I’m not sure it’s a valid analogy. People are generally born with a set of equipment that they’re physically and emotionally tied to throughout their life. Stands to reason they should learn about it.

Guns…are not as ubiquitous or necessary.
