Did you know that abstinence-only sex education is making a comeback in our schools? Extremists are pushing a curriculum that tells students abstinence until heterosexual marriage is the only acceptable choice while withholding the medically accurate information young people need to make informed decisions. These programs ignore essential topics like consent, contraception, healthy relationships, and LGBTQ+ inclusion.Join us to hear from Advocates for Youth and Answer about why these programs are back, what’s driving it, and what’s at stake for students and families. We’ll discuss the impact on young people and what parents, caregivers, and community members can do to advocate for evidence-based sex education in their local schools. Every young person deserves facts and not fear in their classrooms.
