A member asked:
Do all public schools offer classes in comprehensive sex education?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: No, they don't. But they should. Everything we know about this subject suggests that unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases decrease with good sex education, and that sex education does not increase the frequency of sexual relations among adolescents.

No: No, they do not. And even if they do, its not always required and many offer parents and children the right to opt out. So not all children will receive comprehensive sex education.
