Support Comprehensive Sex Education
Arizona has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country. With Arizona’s rate being higher than the national average, Arizona State Legislation introduced SB 1372 in February of 2014. The purpose for this bill was to change our system from “opt-in” to “opt-out” and to require medically accurate, comprehensive sex education curriculum but unfortunately it went nowhere. We believe the lack of education when it comes to one’s sexuality is the reason why so many teens are becoming parents at such an early age. We want a state that allows students to receive comprehensive, non –biased, medically accurate, age-appropriate sex education. Comprehensive Sex Education can be implemented district by district but we need the support of the board members at each district to make this happen. Our plan is to deliver this petition to the Phoenix Union High School district board and show them how many community members support this addition to our schools. Let’s provide our youth with information and allow them to have healthy lives.
