Action Alert: Defend Accurate Sex Education
This Wednesday morning, SB1456 will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee. Make sure to register your opposition to this bill in Request to Speak and to email HouseJud@azleg.gov if you want to testify in the hearing.
Why SB1456 is Dangerous: SB1456 bans sex education before the 5th grade and creates unnecessary hurdles to HIV prevention education. This bill would create a double opt-in process: first, parents need to opt their student into sex education; then, second, would need to opt their student into HIV prevention education. Basic topics of gender identity and gender expression are similarly put behind an opt-in process.
