Matt Batt, a public relations executive from Chicago, and his wife usually spend about $200 on presents for each other. This year, they're cutting spousal gifts entirely, opting to spend that money on their 19-month-old second child and other family members. "This doesn't mean we love each other any less," says Batt.

And in comparison to what gets taught in other Western European nations, the material in the Extremadura program hardly seems radical. In the Netherlands, for instance, teachers at public schools lead discussions in which they ask girls ages 12 to 15 what they would do if their boyfriends refused to wear a condom. In Finland, basic sex education begins in kindergarten, and the curriculum for ninth-graders includes lessons on abortion and masturbation. In Germany, where sex education is mandatory, public...
