Kind of like too many school teachers who want to be kids' friends instead of responsible adults. It's not the school teachers' or school librarians' job to decide when and how kids should be introduced to the adult world. That's the parents' job.

That is the whole point, kids are NOT ignorant today and trying to keep them ignorant will NOT work!
I've known plenty of parents who try being their kids friends rather than their parents. Plenty of parents outright ignore their duty as parents. If you are going to claim/expect it's your job to decide these issues then you had BETTER do the job but do it responsibly and realistically.
Because telling your daughter that you expect her to remain a virgin until she marries or she will be a slut if she doesn't won't work. Telling your son if he's going to fool around make sure he wears protection otherwise have fun isn't the recipe to success either.
There needs to be realistic honesty to the discussion that the parents SHOULD be having with their kids. Sadly, most don't want to have those discussions with their teenage children they would prefer to stick their heads in the sand and not do their DUTY! So, they take the easy way out and blame the schools for them not doing the parents jobs.
