Abstinence only sex education

My first job out of college was at a paper in a small town in central Oklahoma. Just about everyone there I talked to said they'd gotten their first sex education at Bible camp. Not in organized class, but empirically, in the bushes.
The point being, you can moralize all you want, but kids being kids, they're going to want to try out the equipment they've been given, so you might as well teach them how to drive responsibly.

Sorry if I actually believe that the State (meaning government as a whole) has no business "educating" any child of mine on sex.

You should be even more sorry for allowing the state to educate your child in the first place. All of their teachers are liberal anyway and don't teach people to be responsible for themselves. So do you want your child to be dependant on government and sexually ignorant as well? Let me know when he goes blind from masturbating.
