TWO NEW LAWS UPDATE SEX EDUCATION IN ILLINOIS SCHOOLS.
ONE LAW GIVES SEX ED A MAJOR OVERHAUL, REQUIRING SCHOOLS THAT TEACH THE SUBJECT TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE CONSENT, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, GENDER IDENTITY, SEXUAL HEALTH, PUBERTY AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION. IT WAS SUPPORTED ON THE HOUSE FLOOR BY REPRESENTATIVE MAURICE WEST OF ROCKFORD.
IT'S JUST TOO MUCH ARGUED REPRESENTATIVE TONY MCCOMBIE OF SAVANNAH ON THE HOUSE FLOOR THIS SPRING.
PARENTS MAY OPT THEIR KIDS OUT OF SEX ED. THE SECOND LAW ADDS LESSONS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF SEXTING TO SCHOOL CURRICULUM.
