I would rather have a basic understanding of the risks, ramifications and safety measures associated with sexual intercourse in a regular school curriculum than run the risk of someone merely plugging their ears because little Suzy is too young to hear about it - because the fact of the matter is that little Suzy should get this information from a reputable fact based source rather than off of some sleezy (god love them) porn site.

I'm pretty sure most of us are in agreement with you here. I would also recommend that most kids get taught sex-ed in school because of the educational benefit. And I have a big problem with parents who pull their kids from classes like that.
But, I don't think I could ever agree with the government deciding what parents should teach at home.
We can hope they teach sex-ed, but we can't force them too.
