Time to Act: Utahns

Do you remember the New National Sexuality Standards?

"For the past four years the American Association of Health Education, the American School Health Association, the National Education Association – Health Information Network, the Society of State Leaders of Health and Physical Education, Advocates for Youth, Answer, and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States have been working on and authoring a national sexuality program to create a national sexuality education standard to advance the implementation of sexuality education in US public schools."


Well, Utahns, now is the time to act. I received this From Laura Bunker, President of United Families Utah

"HB 363 Health Education Amendments needs your support right away.  We are expecting a great deal of opposition on this one, but you can help. Please contact the members of the House Education Committee below before 3:30 p.m. Thursday and respectfully urge them to support this important bill for Utah's students. We also need your presence in the House Education Committee meeting Thursday Feb 9 at 4:00 p.m. in room 445 of the Capitol.  Better yet, bring your teenagers. This bill is for them."

This is the best way to stop the National Sexuality Standards from entering our schools. So please, just take a few minutes to email the house members on this committee.
