Why this petition matters

Started by ALLISON RICKEY

In many schools a comprehensive sex education is being skipped over. Many students are not learning what options they have when it comes to contraceptives because they are being left with the concept of abstinence as their only option. Unfortunately, there are some students who do not receiving any sort of sexual education at all.  Comprehensive sexual education is not just about sex, but it also educates students on relationships, sexuality, gender, violence and safety, personal health, basic human development, as well as contraceptive information/options for confirmed pregnancy.  A comprehensive sex education is something that all students should have access to and that we should be encouraging schools to include.
