It's Time to Support Sex Education

"Family values." Anti-choice politicians just love using this catch-phrase to support the inaccurate, unproven "abstinence-only" programs they're forcing our nation's schools to teach.

The U.S. has the highest teen-pregnancy rates in the Western industrialized world, so we think it's about time to set the record straight: Misleading young people about sex and birth control is NOT a "family value," it's setting our kids up for greater rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

We're working for change - and accurate sex education - by inviting parents around the country to sign on to the Parents' Petition to support accurate sex education in our schools.

Are you a parent? Do you know a parent? Then sign the Parents' Petition to oppose "abstinence-only" programs and support the Responsible Education About Life (REAL) Act, legislation that would set up the first-ever federal sex-education program!

As parents, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles – we all want our young loved ones to grow up to be informed, responsible and safe. By coming together to demand more for our families, we can make it happen.


Dear Decision Maker,

"Abstinence-only" programs have no business in our nation's schools. Kids learn values at home, but they should learn the facts at school.

[YOUR COMMENT HERE]

Our kids deserve better. I strongly support the passage of the REAL Act which would establish the first-ever federal program for accurate sex education.

Thank you.
