Sen. Bailey shows strong opposition for newly passed sex education bill
State Senator Darren Bailey (R-Louisville) has released the following statement regarding the Senate passage of SB 818 – a sex education program for K-12 schools:
“I am disgusted and appalled by the action taken on Senate Bill 818 in our legislature. The Majority failed again by using their power to pass an extreme piece of legislation requiring an all-or-nothing curriculum for sex education in schools. Students in the 2nd grade may soon be required to identify consent, gender identity, and reproduction, while 4th and 5th graders would have to define different types of sex. The bill is obscene and fails to align with community standards outside of Chicago. I call on my colleagues in the House of Representatives to strongly look at this bill, created by outside advocacy groups, and to do justice for all students in our state.”
