Inslee signs bill mandating sex education in Washington schools

Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill into law Friday that requires sex education in all Washington public schools, starting in kindergarten.

Senate Bill 5395 requires every public school in the state to provide “comprehensive sexual health education” to each student by the 2022-23 school year.

Earlier this month, hundreds gathered on the steps of the state Capitol calling for Inslee to veto the bill. Opponents said it’s not right to expose younger kids to sex education.

However, State Superintendent Chris Reykdal said fears over lessons about the "birds and bees" being taught to kindergartners under the new state law are not true.

the evangelicals are gonna go crazy and there goes any help from Trump! He will use whatever excuse he can. Good for Inslee, I find it unimaginable that kids do not get sex education there.
