Does Lisa the caller really think that schools are encouraging sex by educating youth on how to be safe?  Would she rather have her teenage daughter learn about it from a teenaged boy or from a health professional or teacher?  C'mon people, wake up!  Kids are having sex earlier than ever and the best defense is to teach them how to protect themselves.  If you want to discourage sexual behavior in your children why don't you raise them right-- turn off the tv and communicate frankly with them.
