Whether we’re from Boston or the Berkshires, a strong majority of people in Massachusetts – including most parents – want young people to receive sex and relationship education at school.
The Healthy Youth Act would ensure that the sex and relationship education taught in our schools is high-quality, accurate, and inclusive. This type of education protects young people against bullying and abuse, helps them develop healthy relationship skills, and improves their academic performance.
Despite this overwhelming support, an entire generation of students has gone through our school system since the Healthy Youth Act was first introduced because a small, loud minority of extremists are trying to wage a war on our students by delaying action on sex education. They seem to think that if they erase certain kinds of information from the curriculum, the students who need that information will stop existing in real life.
We can protect the rights of the vast majority of parents – and make our schools a place where every child can get the education they need to thrive – by passing the Healthy Youth Act.
