Comprehensive Sexuality Education

Sex-ed is key in making sure people have the right information they need to make important health decision. This means it can help us lower STI rates and help make public health better.

Safe and inclusive learning environments for LGBTQ+ kids benefit all children.

Although most people support the idea of safe schools, addressing bullying, and making sure that sex-ed is relevant for everyone, there has been a small but organized push-back against teaching about gender identity, sexual orientation, and diverse families.

Parents are the first educators when it comes to teaching their children about health, sexuality, and values. School-based sex-ed does not replace the lessons given at home.

When we say that sex-ed saves lives, it is not an exaggeration. When done right, sex-ed addresses the root causes of negative health outcomes.

Not all sex-ed is created equal. Not everything that is passed off as “sex-ed” would make the cut for being called comprehensive sexuality education.
