Tens of thousands of youth attending Arizona’s public schools are not receiving recommended sexual education studies, specifically in regards to gender, sexuality, and consent, and educators have used the heated politics around LGBTQ+ issues to deny students the curriculum.
The University of Arizona just received nearly four million dollars to expand it s mental health education and healthcare services for LGBTQ+ youth in Southern Arizona.
Two federal grants will help the university's Southwest Institute for Research on Women expand mental health services and sex education designed to serve LGBTQ+ youth.
