And this Act gives parents the right to withdraw their children from a school's program of sex.

4, In Australia, HIV/AIDS is taught within the mandatory Year 7-10 Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Syllabus and the mandatory Year 11 and 12 Personal Development and Health 25 Hour Course. (The NSW)
