The state has officially committed to revising the curriculum standards and mandating improved training for our educators. This outcome proves that clear advocacy can shift policy toward the protection of our students. We will continue to observe the implementation process to ensure these new resources reach every classroom.

The exploitation of a person through force, fraud or coercion to perform commercial sex acts or forced labor is known as human trafficking. The average age of coercion into this sickening industry is 13 years of age. Over 100,000 reported minors are being trafficked in the United States and only 2% are rescued. Something must be done to put an end to this social injustice.
Educating the youth that are vulnerable to recruitment is essential to preventing human trafficking. North Carolina schools are required by Senate Bill 279 to incorporate human trafficking into their sex ed curriculum but this curriculum is vague and not as effective as it should be. If we want to see an end to the horrific industry of sex trafficking we must educate our students successfully by better equipping teachers to provide effective education. Show your support to help provide more training to our educators who in turn will better educate our students in the realities of human trafficking.
By signing this petition you are showing your support to request a revision of Senate Bill 279 to include better training for teachers who teach the curriculum, training of support staff to assist in potential cases, and a form of reporting the effectiveness of the curriculum.

The feedback from educators who feel underprepared to discuss these difficult topics has been particularly illuminating during these past few weeks. I am currently working to consolidate these personal accounts so that we can present a clear picture of the current educational gaps to the school board. Your continued interest confirms that this is a conversation our state needs to hold with greater urgency.

Reaching one hundred signatures will provide a clearer mandate when I present these concerns to the board. I ask that you forward this link to someone who might appreciate the importance of protecting our students through better education.

Being educated on this subject is incredibly important and should be taken more seriously.
I completely support the revision of SB 270 in order to better educate younger people.
I think what you are doing is great and I feel if this goes through it is going to change a lot and help with the numbers of people being human trafficked.
As an educator, I completely support the request to revise SB 279 in order to better equip educators who in turn will better equip our young people.
I know it probably is taught to boys as well but I want to make sure it is taught to both sexes. I'm sure the percentage is higher for females to be exploited but it happens to boys too and I worry about mine.
I hope we can fix this!
We need more education and insight on this?
