LFS:  I sometimes (OK maybe fairly often) post comments with which some folks disagree.  Consequently, I am very careful to be sure my factual statements are correct.  In this case, Agirl's comment was, IMO, written for "effect" and didn't have a sound factual basis.  I realize there's considerable disagreement regarding sex ed.  Most school districts have adopted an "op out" approach to sex education.  If parents do not want their children to receive sex ed in school, they are excused from those classes with no penalty.  Nothing is being "forced upon" children.  Parents are given advanced notice and every opportunity to request their children not participate.  There may be districts which do not follow these procedures, but, IMO, they should.  Gary Crum
