Bible thumpers must have the most boring of sex. I mean, do they even take their clothes off when they do it?
when Kinsey was doing research for his reports on human sexuality, he found (I forget the exact number. Probably not a large group, but enough that I know it caught me by surprise) a subset of people whose sexual knowledge was so poor that they mentioned their desire to have children and not understanding why they couldn't concieve one, even though the wife was still a virgin.
There is this really weird dichotomy in the American way of life. Such obsession with sexuality, in advertisements and pretty much everything else, yet the actual act of sex is taboo. Showing a nipple, national outrage. 2 clothed women rubbing against each other in ways only seen in pornography, put it on prime time.

I imagine that would be far more awkward for most people than a class about homosexuality.
indeed
I can't imagine there is an actual "class" about homosexuality for kids. I'm sure it just gets more mention in health ed or whatever.
In a lot of ways Canada is just as prudish as America. Accepting alternative lifestyles is not one of those ways. Thinking that informing people about their sexuality is bad, just happens to be.
EDIT: Come to think of it, I was introduced to BDSM though school. I did a bunch of papers on the Marquis de Sade for philosophy when I was like 15-16. Honestly, totally appropriate for that age, at least in my case.
