Your class would look like abstinence is 100% effective
Condomes are XXX % effective
Birth Control is XXX % effective.
Oral sex will prevent pregnacy but can still transmit disease.
If guys have lots of sex there studs but if girls due there sluts
A school doesn't have to present one as better then the other merely present abstinence (at least until out of highschool) as a legitamate alternative. If you don't present it as an option you furthur the all my friends are doing it argument.

Good points all around.
A program in school should only be pointing out the facts, how it all works....and what is involved.
If kids are involved sexually, they need to talk to a parent, guardian, doctor, whatever and make sure they're staying protected.
The school gives them the education they need....kid goes to his doctor and asks about birth control.
Its like teaching someone about blood pressure issues. Only AFTER they know about the risks involved with having a high blood pressure will they go to their doctor and make sure they're being 'protected.'
