SB 128 would have required any instruction and learning materials used to teach “human sexuality” for grades 4-12, be approved by the school board and would require certain information to be publicly posted on the school’s website. 

Legislators were using a broad, undefined term, “human sexuality,” to censor what teachers can and cannot discuss. We know that this language has historically been used to censor conversations about the LGBTQ community. All students deserve a high quality and inclusive education that isn’t censored by school board members’ personal or political concerns.
