JACKSONVILLE â Legislation that would require some sex education classes for Illinois students from kindergarten through high school is finding support and criticism.
The Responsible Education for Adolescent and Children s Health Act â or REACH â would require courses to cover all aspects of sex education from identifying trustworthy people to understanding sexually transmitted diseases.
The proposal is awaiting a vote by legislators.
West-central Illinois teacher Erin Studer agrees with the premise but wants to make sure the proper curriculum is available and that what is being taught at each grade level is thoroughly explained. I think it s kind of confusing, said Studer, a special education teacher at Winchester Junior High School. They re going to have to advertise it well.
