Contraceptives in Sex Ed

http://wcbstv.com/national/wisconsin.sex.education.2.1617990.html

A blindly hyper-conservative DA in Wisconsin is threatening teachers who try to use their new right to teach about contraceptives. He argues doing so is encouraging students to have sex and likens it to teaching drink mixing because kids will be drinking illegally. The problem is teaching abstinence only doesn't give them any clue or preparation for any sexual encounters. (There are lots of cases of people having sex and suffering immense consequences, because they weren't taught anything but not to do it.) They must be taught the reality and consequences of sex. Choosing not to teach birth control is like endorsing another set of illegitimate parents or STI/STD carriers. In regard to DA Southworth's thinking that contraceptive instruction is encouraging sex, no one's telling kids how to have better sex; they're trying to teach them safe sex.
