KY schools can't talk about puberty in k-5. Let me remind you this is a problem in a state with a high child abuse rate and a state that bans abortions even for 10 year old pregnant kids. 0 knowledge of puberty/anatomy/sex ed+child sexual abuse means higher rates of pregnant kids
Regarding curriculum, a fifth grade academic standard is now illegal and should NOT be taught.
The standard? "Describe basic male and female reproductive body parts and their functions as well as the physical, social and emotional changes that occur during puberty."

Let's talk about that last minute shady theatrical committee before SB 150 vote which was done in efforts to be secretive, without informing all members of the committee. Yes, transparency needs to happen, and yes, the problem falls most often on the Republican party
Fun fact: The behind closed doors voting method that was used to tank Jim Jordan’s candidacy is the same tactic that is often used to kill good bills in Frankfort.
Members will tell their constituents that they support legislation to abolish so-called “Gun Free” zones, but…
