Utahns can no longer trust religious leaders and families to provide young people with necessary sex education. Comprehensive sex education in public schools provides additional information for students about healthy sexual relationships.
When comprehensive sex education is taught in public schools, students get the information they need before their sexual and emotional health is compromised.
Also, comprehensive sex education taught in school is not entangled with conflicts of interest such as the one MacGregor’s bishop had to keep her uninformed, or her parents’ early obliviousness, as if they thought they were living in a Disney movie.
