When is it too young? I'm not sure, I'm glad my kids are waiting as a personal choice until they are older but I realize many kids don't. I know it gets over-stated, it seems most realistic research indicates it's around 40-60 percent depending on who did the research. I'm fine with open discussion and free condoms, just so long as it does not turn into sexual promotion and encouragement into promiscuity on the part of the schools.

That was the school that had over a dozen pregnancies last school year.

Although it may seem taboo, any type of reinforcement besides parents is a good action towards avoiding unwanted pregnancies and STDs. Health issues such as these arise everyday and the costs are higher in an incident than taking preventative measures. The first sex ed. packet I received was in 4th grade and I don't think that was too early. I believe sex education in school is very important.
