'''Sex Education''' is classroom instruction on [[human reproduction]] and [[sexuality]]. It is one of the hottest cultural issues in American politics, with [[liberal]]s and some conservatives favoring "science-based" (comprehensive) teaching on aspects of abstinence and birth control methods, as well as reproductive organs. A lot of conservatives, especially social conservatives, favor abstinence-only sex education, with no mention of contraception or birth control except in relation to their failure rates. Other conservatives are against sex education (in schools) altogether, taking the "[[moral]]" side and wanting as little mention of sex in classrooms as possible, leaving parents to instruct their children as to sexual morality and information relating to sex and reproductive organs.

It is a very hot cultural issue in American politics because of a division between those who feel that it should be "science-based" (comprehensive) and those who favor a more moral curriculum based on abstinence.

Liberals and some conservatives favor comprehensive sex education, which teaches about the reproductive organs, abstinence and birth control methods. Many Conservatives favor abstinence-only sex education, arguing that schools make it more socially-acceptable for sexual promiscuity through educating students. They also underscore the importance of monogamy and point to poor protective measures by many popular contraceptives. Other conservatives are against sex education in schools altogether, and would prefer the schools do not indoctrinate or promote any sexual practices; they tend to prefer instructing their children in sexual morality and sexuality themselves.
