We;ve never honestly discussed sex with kids because every time we try, some douchebag politician from 1000 miles away with a constituancy of inbred bible thumpers throws a hissy fit and scuttles the legislation.
Teaching abstinence is great, but only teaching abstinence is criminally negligent.

I'm not talking about teaching abstinence. I'm talking about real, honest to god sex education. We were required to take a full semester of it. Abstinence was not even mentioned.
