It is the choice of school districts whether or not they teach sex education. This is why the Anti- Proposition 8 campaign and Jack O'Connell say there is no requirement to teach about marriage.
What Jack O'Connell knows but doesn't say is that 96% of school districts teach comprehensive sex education. Those numbers are from O'Connell's California Department of Education. 96% must teach respect for marriage.
Of course some teacher can still tell their students about gay relationships, but they would not be OBLIGATED to under the law like they would if Prop 8 doesn't pass.

It's a social issue and if you fail to discuss social issues with your children, you are neglecting your duty as a parent.
I'm not afraid of sexual education for my children, even if some of the education differs from my perspective. In fact, in order to live fulfilled lives, I'd prefer my children receive plenty of education on sexuality. If our home is sufficiently open, then my children can judge the information based on what we also present. If we present the truth, they should be able to judge that.
