Bill mandating sex education in Washington schools passes House

A bill that would mandate sex education in all Washington public schools starting in kindergarten has passed the Washington State House of Representatives.

A debate over the bill that started Wednesday night lasted about six hours with strong opinions from both sides.

Those against the bill said it's not right to expose younger kids to sex education.

"I'm offended at the pornography that we're going to be forced to teach our children," said Rep. Robert Sutherland (R-Snohomish County), as he spoke to the house. "I'm offended at what this government is doing to the parents out there."

I live in Snohomish County and I've never heard of Sutherland before. Glad he's not my Rep.
