This bill is established and designed to implement comprehensive sexual education lessons as a required curriculum in high schools in every state of the United States for every school student high school seniors can graduate Section Two: Congress finds and declares that the sex education curriculum has been wrongly denied the ability to provide an in-depth course for high school students to gain a better understanding of all things sexual. Sex education, or sex education, is an educational course designed to educate on issues related to human sexuality, sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual activity, reproductive health, emotional relationships, and reproductive rights and responsibilities and contraceptives. Of the 50 states in the United States, only 18 are required by law to include a sex education course available in all high schools. Of the 18 states that require sex education, however, their curriculum is different. In some states like Utah, young people are taught about sex education, sexually transmitted diseases, and abstinence until marriage, but are not given information about contraception. In other states like Washington, teens receive information ranging from homosexuality to contraceptive methods. States like Utah that promote “abstinence-only” sex education classes are less effective than those like Washington, where a more in-depth sex education class has shown no evidence of any encouragement of sexual activity. Washington used the comprehensive sex education program. The method Utah uses, the "Abstinence Only" or "Just Say No" teachings, despite educating youth on how to reject sexual advances, promote self-sufficiency, educate about the psychological health of youth who have had sex, etc. they are partial and prejudiced. This bill will drop teenagers... to the middle of the paper... who have not met the high school graduation requirements and will not graduate until the curriculum is completed. Federal funding will be deferred by the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services.
