Comprehensive sex education
The absence of comprehensive sex education is costing this country and young people\’s lives dearly. The abstinence-only sex education policies have played out to dire consequences and its time to re-think the ways in which we talk with young people and deliver social services to the people who need them (often times because of a lack of sex education).

I second this one. Missouri legislation prohibits materials and sex educators from public schools if they are connected to an entity that refers for or provides abortion. This includes most hospitals and health clinics—and leaves teachers in a position to present on material in which they may or may not be proficient. Our students’ right to basic health information should not be compromised in this way.
