I realize this is going to go counter to the grain here, and perhaps even my own statements in the past, but I read this pamphlet, and I don't see the harm in explaining to 11 yr olds how to not get pregnant and/or arrested while they do what they're going to do, for most of them, not too many years down the line anyways. I would also accept that 11 may be a bit early, but like I say you do tragically have girls getting pregnant not too much older than that.
People like you always assume that the magic bullet to stop unwanted childhood pregnancy is to be told all about sex at a ludicrously early age, whereas it could just as easily be the 'education' that makes them want to do it.
It could just as easily be read by children as state sanctioned approval...which I honestly believe is the intention.
Unfortunately 11 year olds actually do need sex ed. As long as you tell them the truth, it seems ok to me.
What? No, they don't. Not even a little bit.

"By now I would have a child if nobody told me about fisting at age 6."
