Teach safe driving, but wear a seatbelt in case you get in a wreck.
Safe sex should be taught in school because many parents will never address it at home. While the value of abstinence as a health issue should be covered as well, abstinence as a moral issue should be discussed in the home.
Couldn't have said it better.
"Abstinence is the only 100% sure way to prevent pregnancy and STDs, but if you do have sex, use a condom." That could be sex-ed right there. With a little padding to keep kids' attention, that's it.
