'''Sex Education''' is classroom instruction on [[human reproduction]] and [[sexuality]]. It is one of the hottest issues in American politics, with the secular-progressive ([[liberal]]) side favoring "science-based" teaching from [[kindergarten]] on up.

It is one of the hottest issues in American politics, with the secular-progressive ([[liberal]]) side favoring "science-based" teaching from [[kindergarten]] on up.  Liberals believe that starting in the younger grades "inappropriate touching" should be taught to prevent sexual molestation, and in the older grades contraception should be taught to prevent the spread of STDs and unwanted pregnancies. Conservatives take the [[moral]] side and want as little mention of sex in classrooms as possible, leaving to the parents their natural right to instruct children as to sexual morality, as opposed to the government deciding for them; studies have shown that abstinence-only education can lead to more STDs and unwanted pregnancies.
