Friends and neighbors,
I would strongly encourage all of you to submit your comments about the state’s proposed new health education requirements for K-12 students, which will impose gender ideology benchmarks on kids as young as third grade:
- Third graders would be required to “describe internal and external reproductive body parts using medically accurate terms in a gender-neutral way” and “explain the difference between sex assigned at birth and gender identity and expression.”
- Other third-grade benchmarks include requiring students to “define gender identity and expression” and “describe consent and its importance in all relationships.”
- Fifth graders would be required to “define sexual orientation including sense of identity, attractions and related behaviors” and “describe the differences between sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression.”
The comment period is open until July 18 and can be done online.
If this issue is important to you, this is your opportunity to have your voice heard!
If you have any questions about any of these issues, please reach out any time.
Sincerely,
