State of our schools

From 365Gay.com:

23% Of Washington School Districts Ban Teaching About Homosexuality

(Seattle, Washington) Nearly a quarter of the school districts in the state of Washington bar teachers from talking about homosexuality and nearly a third do not allow teachers to discus condoms.


And another reason to contact your elected representative.

At an Olympia news conference to release the study state Rep. Shay Schual-Berke (D) said she will reintroduce a bill this legislative session to make medically accurate sex education mandatory in Washington schools.


With Democrats in the super majority this should be a slam dunk, however, opposition to teaching medically accurate sex education is VERY strong and well funded.

If you don't know who your elected representatives are go here.

Your voice can make a difference - all you have to do is use it!
