Illinois Sex Ed Curriculum Gets Updated

Starting next school year, if your school teaches any kind of sexual education, they’ll have to follow certain criteria in all grades, K-12. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the controversial legislation Friday. Supporters said the recommended curriculum is age-appropriate for each grade, but opponents say it goes too far. Parents can opt their children out. Another measure effective immediately requires schools teaching sex ed to include age-appropriate discussions regarding “sexting.”
