Mentally disabled children do sometimes get sexually abused. Therefore they at least need to understand the difference between what are sometimes referred to as "good touches" and "bad touches". Some of them also may have the intellectual ability to wonder where babies come from and should be given instruction appropriate to their abilities to understand. Also some mentally disabled children do actually grow up and get married, and would need to know about sex.
The US have the highest number of pregnant teens and people with STD's so YES! As a matter of fact, it is not enough as it is since many get it too late and it's not proper sex education. Sex education is the best way to prevent unwanted pregnancies, STD's and abortions.
After looking at your other question I assume you are from the Philippines and many, MANY women from your country come here asking for how to abort safely. Although the Philippines is a Catholic country you have many who end up pregnant before marriage or women who are married and can not afford another child but Birth Control is not allowed. YES, you need sex education. If just relying on what the Catholic church says about safe day, many more will get pregnant. I doubt all women in the Philippines use a ovulation stick to make sure they are not ovulating or even know exactly when they do ovulate. Sperm can live inside you for up to a week so sex before ovulation is also a risk. And pulling out gets you pregnant within 2 years. It's not a birth control method. Would it not be great if there would be sop few children up for adoption in the Philippines that they would not have to adopt to other countries? That way there could be open adoptions so the mothers would know what happened to their child. Today they will never know.
