KBOE is at it again!

The leaders in the state of Kansas are ever ready to push regressive politics into reality. Once again the Kansas State Board of Education is seeking to mandate abstinance only sex education for Kansas Public Schools.

Urge the State Board to support comprehensive sex ed!

The Kansas State Board of Education will vote this month on adopting the following statement:

"Each board of education shall provide a comprehensive abstinence until marriage program in human sexuality that is developmentally appropriate, including information about sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV/AIDS. It is imperative that medically accurate and research-based information be provided, including factual information regarding contraception and disease prevention."

We support most of this statement, but unfortunately, Board Member Kathy Martin has proposed removing the term "comprehensive" and keeping "abstinence-until-marriage."

Please urge your board member to reject Martin's proposal and support comprehensive, abstinence-plus education.
