SB 442 would require 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.  The ACLU of Indiana objects to this unnecessary bill. 

All students deserve a high quality and inclusive sexual health education. Individual school boards can already do everything mandated by it. Requiring these actions for school boards who don’t think they are helpful to their district’s families politicizes sexual health in a way that does not benefit schools or Hoosier parents and students.
