A new bill introduced in the New York Senate, sponsored by a freshman Democrat, could make comprehensive sex education compulsory to children as young as five in public and charter schools and force schools to teach kids about gender identity by the end of second grade.
Sen. Samra G. Brouk introduced Senate Bill S2584A, which seeks to require comprehensive sexuality instruction for students in grades K-12. The bill would require the instruction of model curricula for comprehensive sex education that conforms to the “content and scope of national sexuality education standards.” Comprehensive sexuality education covers issues like healthy relationships, body image, and self-esteem, Brouk wrote in a justification of the bill.
In case you haven’t noticed, education’s been getting an
overwhelming overhaul.
For the state of things, look no further than New York’s potential upgrade to sex and gender instruction courtesy of a proposed bill.
As reported by the New York Post, first-time Democratic state Sen. Samra Brouk is sponsoring legislation to adopt the standards of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States.
