The sad truth is that most parents will not teach their children anything useful about guns. If school teachers follow a good program like the NRA curriculum, that is better than nothing at all from the parents.

...and at the same time, insist that we teach all the nitty-gritty details of safe-sex, because... well, I can't figure out why...

Why would you take this position, especially if you agree with many folks on this forum that when it comes to defending yourself and your family, that it is generally not a good thing to relinquish personal responsibility to the government?
My responsibility to protect my family _includes_ teaching my children to protect themselves through safe handling of firearms. I do not wait for the schools to teach them for me, although it's nice that Virginia just passed a law requiring firearm safety lessons in public schools. I've already taught my kids the basics of the NRA's Eddie Eagle program, and I still give them periodic reminders, and I even give pop quizzes.
A bill has been introduced in MI to provide Eddie Eagle type classes in their schools.Time to start teaching them good things!No. Their school teachers should.
