second strongest argument

My second strongest argument that I will be making is that parents are not involved enough in sex education programs in schools. Many parents fear that sex education programs are too explicit. They also believe that teaching their children about how to have safe sex is minimizing the abstinence message that some parents want to be taught. Parents have been arguing for years that sex education should be taught at home where the parents will be able to teach their child about sex how they want, when they want and religious or moral beliefs. Parents don’t know half of the information that students learn in their sex educations classes. Schools give out pamphlets to their students with nonprofit organizations numbers that they can call whenever they need to if they have questions and they tell their students that their parents don’t even need to know about it. As students come home from school parents may ask what they did today and research has been done that proves that parents are unhappy with the way sex education is being taught. They believe that students are learning important information at too young of an age. Parents have the right to know what is going on in their child’s life, especially when it comes to sex education.
