    A lot of what you stated is subjective. Your definition of ignorance on a subject might be different than mine. Thankfully however, you did mention one thing that can be measured with some absolutes…

    they need to learn about how their own bodies work so that they don’t get and spread stds

    I could be wrong, but it would seem most of the people here think that private education, selected by the parent, would result in luddites that, for example, can’t figure out how babies are made. That somehow the parents are incapable of teaching their own children these things. Were that the case, I would assume that the increase in public education, and decrease in private education, would decrease the number of STIs that are occurring.

    Huh. How is all that sexual “education” working out? Seems we’re in worse shape than before. I think I’ll let my kids be ignorant like me and teach them to treat sex as something to be reserved for marriage, like I was.

    Educate your kids how you want. I’ll educate mine how I want. Seems fair. Problem is, that’s not enough for the left. They want absolute power and tyranny over others.
