“Yes, but it should be age appropriate. Most kids in the second and third grade aren’t even thinking about sex.  When they get to be 12 … then you start introducing it to them.”

“It’s something that should be taught at home first. You won’t even have to worry about it if you deal with those issues at home.”

“School should reinforce what they’ve been taught at home, not the other way around. When they learn about sex at school, as a parent, you’re playing catch up. And that’s not good.”

“It should be mandatory, but the parents should be able to opt out, if they don’t want their child exposed to that”
