Sex ed is important to keep in Floridaâs schools | Letters Hereâs what readers are saying in Mondayâs letters to the editor. Â Published Feb. 8 Sex education is important Our Florida Legislature will soon be considering SB 410, which intends to make sex education for public school students opt-in instead of opt-out, creating a deliberate lack of awareness for both parents and school-age children. SB 410 takes the archaic position that ignorance is bliss by severely restricting sex education in schools despite polls that indicate 90 percent of both Republican and Democratic parents support our current sex education curriculum. If it ainât broke, donât fix it. SB 410 would force our children to find out about their bodies through trial and error outside of the classroom. How many babies and sexually transmitted infections might result from such legislative shortsightedness? Turning a blind eye to the consequences of this bill is its dangerous flaw.
