Sex education is very important for students, it should be given in colleges and school
Agreed! Many different studies have shown that abstinence only sex education — which is what most schools are forced to provide if they provide anything at all — is a complete disaster and absolutely ineffective at keeping young people from having sex or spreading sexually transmitted infections or unwanted pregnancies. What they are successful at is spreading misinformation, confusion, and shame. The Unitarian Universalists provide some fantastic sex education for young folks, though, so go them!
