The short explanation of this alert was:

A+ Fails in the House by only TWO votes!

Unfortunately, your representative voted NO.

This week, the Kansas State House failed to include the Abstinence-Plus Education Act in their school funding bill (60-62). This bill (SB 508) would re-instate age-appropriate, medically accurate sex education in Kansas schools, emphasizing the benefits of abstinence, while including information on HIV/AIDs and preventing unintended pregnancies. This act maintains local control over curriculum and ensures that all parents have the opportunity to opt their child out.

Did you know?

In 1987, the State Board of Education passed a mandate for comprehensive sex education.
Teen pregnancy has decreased 20 percent in Kansas since that policy went into effect.
The current State Board of Education allowed that mandate to expire in July 2005.

Please take a moment to express your disappointment to your State Representative for not supporting A+ for Kansas.
