It is also the parent's responsibility to send their kids to school with full stomachs after a good night's sleep and with a pencil and paper at a minimum, but I can tell you that there are many who do not.
Pretending that parents in our community all do what they "should" be doing means that a sizable portion of our future adults will grow up ignorant of basic health information, which leads to increased spread of all sorts of communicable diseases and unplanned pregnancies. Pretending that youth between the ages of 12 and 18 don't participate in a wide range of sexual activities because they "shouldn't" be doing that is also a good recipe for disaster for a lot of young people.
Parents who want to teach their children at home about this stuff can ALWAYS opt out of any sex ed curriculum, but those parents shouldn't be vetoing it for the rest of the students.
