(The Center Square) — Students as young as kindergarten in Illinois public schools would get some form of sexual education under a proposal supported by Planned Parenthood.
The Pro-Family Alliance said it goes too far. Planned Parenthood disagrees.
If passed into law, the Responsible Education for Adolescent and Children’s Health, or REACH Act would start sex ed in kindergarten through second grade with lessons on personal safety and respecting others. Grades 3-5 would cover anatomy, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Grades 6-12 would build upon that and include benefits of abstinence, birth control and prevention of STDs.
