Teenage pregnancy and STD rates have been too high for too long, and lack of comprehensive sex education in our public schools has been a large influence in this. Join me in convincing Minnesota Congress that it's time for a change in this state's sex education policy.

The feedback I have received from educators across the state underscores a clear need for a standardized approach to health instruction. I am currently compiling these experiences to present a formal briefing to the legislative committee.

Proper truthful sex ed is essential to human development and the future health and survival of humanity. All too often we let outdated myths and cultural norms block us from teaching children how to actually remain safe and health.

Comprehensive, inclusive sexual education is the only way to help raise a sexually healthy human!

The health of our students is so important and it is just wrong that we are keeping teenagers in the dark about things that could help them make more informed choices about their health.
