Tell CCSD: Students need real sex ed

Clark County School District (CCSD) rolled out the  sex education community survey and they really need to hear from progressives like you who support real sex ed.

A small, yet vocal, group has tried to shift the conversation away from medically accurate, age appropriate sex education to spread misinformation and fear. In doing so, they’re putting our most vulnerable students at risk. Filling out the survey lets CCSD know that our community wants sex education that covers:

 

1. Dating violence

2. Delaying or refraining from sex

3. Cyberbullying

4. Gender Identity

5. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

6. Good Touch/Bad Touch (elementary)

7. Media and body image

8. Legal consequences of sexting

9. Safe haven laws

10. Identify reproductive health service locations
