So, in public schools, it’s sex education for everybody, and some are even talking about dispensing birth control to middle-schoolers, without prental notification. But this woman talks to her two sons about sex, one of them tells a counselor about it, and she is hauled into court:
Pardeeville mother accepted a plea agreement on charges she had a sexually explicit discussion with her two sons, even while she maintained she did nothing wrong and that she didn’t understand why she was charged.
Amy J. Smalley, 36, said in court Thursday that she accepted the plea agreement in part because she thought it would be in the best interest of her sons, ages 12 and 16, in that it would spare them from testifying in court.
[. . .]
Smalley’s attorneys unsuccessfully argued in court in July that the charges should be dismissed as the discussions should be protected as free speech between a parent and her children in the vein of sexual education.
Well, yeah. Instead of talking to her sons about sex, she should have volunteered to lecture at her sons’ school. The law wouldn’t have touched her.

“According to the charges filed against her, Smalley last year told her sons about several sexual experiences she had. She also allegedly described performing oral sex and also showed the two a sex toy.”
Still, I agree. Parents should have a lot of discretion in how he or she chooses to explain sex to their kids.
