Voters in Washington state have approved a referendum upholding a bill that would require public schools across the state to teach comprehensive sexual health education to students multiple times throughout their K-12 education.
Referendum 90 asked voters whether they wanted to repeal Senate Bill 5395, which was passed by the state legislature and signed by Gov. Jay Inslee earlier this year.
The bill would require schools across the state to implement comprehensive sexual health education to students in grades six through 12 by the start of the 2021-22 school year and expand curriculums to kindergarten through fifth grade for the 2022-23 school year.

In a recent Slog AM,
Stranger writer Jasmyne Keimig sleepily wrote that state Senator Mark Mullet would serve another six-year term after narrowly winning the 5th Legislative District race over challenger Ingrid Anderson. But, as
many readers pointed out, state senators only serve four-year terms. She regrets the error.
Nathalie Graham, who covers city hall for
The Stranger, regrets each time she thought covering a new Tree Ordinance update was worthwhile. It never was.
