Email the Education Committee to vote yes on HB 879
A bill for honest, realistic sex education in our schools passed through the House Health Committee because of the thousands of calls and emails that pro-choice North Carolinians like you sent last week! The bill made it out of the committee "without prejudice," and has been sent to the education committee. Can you help us keep up the momentum? Send an email to the education committee and ask them to "Vote yes on HB 879!" It's the least we can do for the health and safety of our teens. Who would oppose commonsense legislation to ensure that our teens are taught honest, realistic sex education in school? Here's just a taste what the opposition is saying:
The Myth: "A highly controversial bill that would abolish abstinence until marriage education" -- N.C. Family Policy Council The Truth: This bill does not abolish "abstinence-only" education at all, it expands the current curriculum to include abstinence instruction and honest, realistic sex-education. In fact, HB 879 explicitly says instruction and materials shall teach respect for marriage and committed relationships. Click here to read more about what the opposition is saying.
