*** = Some families feel uncomfortable teaching their young about sex, therefore, the schools should be able to teach it. However, parents should be allowed to teach their kids about sex. I didn't learn about sex from my parents nor my school, I learned from my older friends and the internet.
Still, I would hesitate to say that it is the "duty" of schools to teach about sex. It seems to me that in mandating that they do we are creating yet another Big Brother system where the government tries to control people's lives. I find it surprising that so much of the progressive movement is concerned with getting the government out of the bedroom but then turns and tries to force the school system to attempt to control children's sex lives. To me, a staunch libertarian, this represents little more than typical puritanical views toward sex. Even if we're telling kids that sex is wonderful and encouraging kids to be open about it, if we're at the same time saying do this, don't do that wear this, don't wear that are we really all that much better than the Victorian moralists who tried to restrict it altogether?
