You really do have to be careful what you educate your child about in the US it seems. If they know too much about sex ed' or drugs, you might get social services call on you (or worse they might make baseless accusations of sexual abuse or drug use).

But then again this is a country where letting your kids walk to the local park is grounds for social services and children being removed from their household. So the bar is obviously set extremely low and common sense plays little to no part.

PS - I wonder how long until letting your children play outside (rather than them watching TV/playing video games) is grounds for social services? A lot of people cite "kidnapping" as a justification for the park thing, so by that logic letting them outside out of sight is equally as dangerous...
