Question by davis.thal:
What are some good arguments for mandatory sex-ed in school?
I'm doing a debate in school (I'm on the affirmative side) on whether sex-ed should be mandatory in all schools throughout the U.S.A. I have basic arguments like learning about HIV, pregnancy and etc. The only problem is the the negative side will argue that the school itself can choose whether to teach it or not and I need good counterarguments agaisnt that. Please help! And when you answer try to cite your source.

Currently, the instruction sex ed is not mandatory in the US and as a matter of fact, courses of this type have been slowly eliminated from school districts that had offered it formerly. You can make a parallel between this and the fact tat teen pregnancy and STDs are on the rise again. You can site the teens in Gloucester Massachussettes who entered into a pregnancy pact. See some of the info below found on http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jun/20/nation/na-pregnancy20;
Nationwide, teen pregnancies are showing signs of rising after steadily declining from 1991 to 2005.
"The data seem to be indicating that the declines that we had seen through the 1990s are coming to a close," said David Landry, a researcher at the Guttmacher Institute, a New York nonprofit group focusing on reproductive issues.
Birth rates for teenagers 15 to 17 rose by 3% in 2006, the first increase since 1991, according to preliminary data released in December by the National Center for Health Statistics.
In Gloucester, the 1,200-student school administered 150 pregnancy tests to students in the last academic year.
The school forbids the distribution of condoms and other contraception without parental consent, a rule that prompted the school's doctor and nurse to resign in protest in May.
