Of course what anyone teaches their children is down to them but shouldn’t what other people are teaching their children in turn not be a factor in deciding what to teach ones own kids?

If other kids are being taught that the key aspects about sex concern hygiene, disease precaution, contraception, and how to deal with the perverts of the world would it not be rather silly to expect that on meeting a person of the opposite sex they need to be best equipped to deal with what emerges?

Certainly teaching abstinence is not only old hat, it’s probably damaging in this enlightened age. It carries the possibility (probability?) of all sorts of suppressed emotions, guilt, angst, and a whole lot more besides especially if they see their mates going at it like knives, and they will, believe me, they will.

It will also build a massive barrier between parents and kids which if things go wrong could lead to disaster.

Morality? Morality is not an absolute, morality changes with time.

When I was in my teens a homosexual person was considered at least immoral and probably much worse not to mention someone who was a criminal simply by his sexual orientation should he engage in a homosexual relationship.

Today thankfully and rightly such is not the case, and now most sensible people recognise that a homosexual couple having a relationship is in no way different in any significant from that of a heterosexual couple, one way that morality has advanced.

Another way is how once for a couple to cohabit was very unusual, and attracted considerable censure. Today thankfully such is not the case.

Many women engaged in a profession decide to have a child without being in, or intending to be in a relationship. Is that immoral?

Personally although I believe a two parent household is to be preferred I would not condemn such a choice as being immoral.

What I DO condemn is young women, often straight out of school, deliberately getting “up the duff” as the start of a lifetime career in which they get fed and housed “on the welfare”. I see that as immoral.

America? Ignore it at your peril.

What the kids do there today the kids here will do tomorrow and no one will stop them.

In my opinion the best that you can do is give your kids the best advice and guidance you can to help and support them in the REAL world, not the world that you would like it to be.
