I admit to being a little shocked that a school in California taught that. I'm old enough to remember air raid drills in school.
When I was in high school in California in the 1970s -- an all-girl Catholic school, mind you -- the nuns brought in a doctor to talk to us about birth control when we were freshmen. (I think they thought that better we sinned through using birth control if we were going to have sex than get pregnant and drop out or be put in the quandary of whether or not to get an abortion, which had just become legal in the state but which, of course, was and is still prohibited by the Church.)
The doctor showed us the different types of birth control devices available at the time and told us the success/failure rate of each. There was no judgment implied, no pressure, and no scare tactics.
