The kinds of legal issues I had in mind were those involving consent.
It's no use speaking of consent on a U.S. scale or even international. Laws on consent vary from state to state. I mean, if we teach Minnesota consent laws, what would we teach? Well, we could teach that it's okay for 8th graders to have sex with other 8th graders, since that's conforming to consent laws. But will that acheive the goal of educating children against sex?
Not that I agree that it's right to teach people how to behave morally in school anyway. Just saying that your arguments don't fit one another. I mean, you want more abstinence to prevent the spread of disease, but don't seem to realize that the current laws don't say anything that would prevent youngens from boinging other youngens and incresing the spread of STDs.
I mean, really, from what I can see in the laws, kids can legally have sex long before they even know what the hell it is. Certainly long before they are taught anything about it in school.
