The left is completely against abstinence only, yes. Most of the right doesn't want the comprehensive sex ed that is taught in some states, no?

It has been my general observation that conservative principles are generally based on less government and keeping government out of our personal lives. Whereas liberals want more government and want government intruding into our homes and telling us how to live our lives (a "benefit" to the Liberals who keep welfare in place, because it gives them THE RIGHT to enter peoples' lives and homes with impunity!).
As a consequence, I can envision conservatives not wanting school teachers to instruct their students on personal matters, e.g. sex. It occurs to me that if parents want the school to reach sex issues then a specific curriculum can be presented to the parents with an authorization with the understanding that the teacher stays on the presented curriculum and that's it! But what they usually don't teach in sex education is "decision making"! That needs to be from home. IMO.
