I know a lot of non-Catholics (especially fathers of girls) that promote abstinence among teens. I know that if I ever have kids, I will tell them that abstinence is the best choice.
The Catholic Church is right on this one, although they should be taught about the alternatives. It's worth mentioning that I went to a Catholic school until grade 9 and although sex (even protected) was discouraged, you could still get condoms at the school health clinic.
