I think what's missed in the discussion is the role of parents. Not everything has to be the teacher's responsibility. That is in the article, they say it's about parental choice. So parents can address the questions, and decide how to raise their kids. Why should it automatically be the role of the state to give a state sanctioned answer?
- smt88 5y agoThe state doesn't need to have a sanctioned answer, but this is the opposite: a blanket gag on the educator regardless of context. The state should not gag educators or anyone else.

- threatofrain 5y agoWe provide a state-sanctioned answer in cases where parents are inadequate — known as sex education.
- falcolas 5y agoWhich parents are allowed to disallow their children from attending. Partial conjecture, but it's probably the same parents who are unwilling to talk to their children about sex. That's how it was for my spouse, at least.
