The debate surrounding sex education in schools is complex and multifaceted, with significant opposition arising from various groups. Common arguments against it often cite concerns about parental rights, the age-appropriateness of the curriculum, and the potential for conflicting with religious or moral values. Opponents may also argue that such education promotes promiscuity or undermines traditional family structures. These concerns have led to calls for alternative approaches that prioritize parental involvement and emphasize abstinence-based education.
