Over the past couple of years, many school districts have found the need to cut down their budget. These unfortunate cuts in the system have forced educators and administrators to get rid of sex education and occasionally physical education. The article I recently found in USA today talks about sex education and the reason every school should have it. Many schools still offer sex education, and the ones that do have stirred up the controversy on whether or not they should say sex is okay before marriage or not. Many schools teach that sexual intercourse is absolutely not okay prior to marriage, while the realistic education should not be for the subject but just awareness of the outcomes as well as protection and contraceptives. Studies have shown that more than 60% of American children, before the age of 18, have taken part in sexual activity. This goes to show that every school should have sex education to help these children realize the correct ways and what can happen. Instead, facility have this outrageous thought that kids living in today's world don't have sex before marriage. Yes, I'm sure people still do although where I grew up it was very uncommon and from these statistics, shows that my school wasn't the only one!
