Bill, could you please tell me where you are getting the information that schools are teaching kids that experimenting with sex is okay (especially against their parents' permission)? Being a librarian, the spouse of a public school teacher, and a product of public education myself, I have NEVER, EVER heard of teachers encouraging kids to go out and have sex. NEVER. I have, however, seen kids being told by teachers NOT to have sex, but without being told what constitutes sex.
When a school offers sex education and gives away free condoms on demand, as well as offers underage girls access to birth control methods, without notifying the parents, they are encouraging sexual behavior.

Yes, you are right - the teachers don't say "Go out and have sex." What they say is "It is risky to go out and have sex. Have a condom, but whatever you do, don't have sex using it."
Let us not play silly buggers regarding this situation. During prohibition, many companies sold grape juice with instructions on what not to do, because that might make wine, and wine was illegal. Gasp. Now they tell the kids not to have sex, but here, have a condom, or here, have some birth control pills. Some even offer state-paid abortions for juvenile girls on demand, no parental notification there, either. Don't worry, we can't tell your parents by law. Now go have fun - no sex, now, remember!
Public school sex ed is intended to give the facts, not to convey any moral/religious or pro-juvenile sex message. If you know of a teacher or school that is doing that, I suggest you report them to your local school board.
Sexual education does not belong in public schools, period. How sex works? Sure, that's biology class. That there are people who have other kinds of sex than your basis heterosexual sort? Sure, sociology class. Have a condom kid? No.
