Kinda like "Just say no!" and "abstinence only" sex education.

Why should my kid have to learn about contraception? He won't be having sex until he's married. That's how I raised him!

Why should my kid learn about gun safety? We don't own guns in this house and he would never go to any home where there was a gun present.
