Issue Position: Comprehensive Sex Education
Issue Position
Issues: Education
This bill would replace the current Abstinence until Marriage (AUM) sex education with a Comprehensive curriculum. Advocates of the bill argue that AUM doesn't work. However, research shows that teen pregnancy and abortions have decreased in North Carolina since its inception in the 1990's. I do not support the bill because the current curriculum works, local school districts did not ask for this legislation, but mostly because it seems to be another attempt to advance an agenda opposed to traditional marriage and in support of alternate lifestyles.
