Just Say No
Tomorrow, the Kansas Board of Education is expected to take up a proposal to require abstinence-only sex education across the state. Under the proposal, districts that teach more than abstinence could risk losing their accreditation.
While the board would be wise to just say no to abstinence only sex education, which has proven ineffective in case after case, the right-wing majority on the board will undoubtedly vote to approve, once again placing their own narrow sectarian religious beliefs ahead of sound public policy and the welfare of Kansas students.
