Hi. This poll is about whether schools should teach sex education and whether children should be taught what sex is, how it happens, what condoms are, and other basic topics related to sexual education.
We can see that some people, especially more conservative people in the United States, do not want their children to hear about these topics at school. However, perhaps the issue is more about who is teaching sex education. There have been well-known cases where people identifying as queer spoke to children behind closed classroom doors and explained sex from their own perspective as members of the LGBT community.
However, this poll is not really about those situations. The question here is whether sex education should be taught in schools in the traditional sense - helping teenagers understand what sex is, how it works, and, most importantly, teaching them about contraception and protection to help prevent teenage pregnancy.
Overall, this is a very sensitive topic, and I honestly do not want to describe it in too much detail or turn this into a debate about sex education. Instead, I am interested in hearing your opinion. Do you think schools should teach sex education?
I can only share my own experience. When I was in the sixth grade, we had a lesson about sex. Of course, the entire class turned into chaos because we were children, and we laughed through almost the whole lesson. At that age, I personally did not learn anything particularly important. I already knew what a condom was, but nobody at school explained how to use one. That was basically the extent of our sex education.
