DISD wants to reduce teen pregnancy, but critics say abstinence needs more focus.
teaches students about birth control and gender identitySome vocal critics objected to the lessons focused on reducing teen pregnancy, saying they aren’t age-appropriate or focus too little on abstinence. But others championed the proposal, stressing that students need more information on safe sex.
Students frequently ask him questions they are grappling with: Is it okay to be gay? Is it okay to have sex? DISD trustees voted to approve the new materials at a time when the way Texas schools teach about gender and sexuality is in the spotlight and the ability to get an abortion is being litigated at the Supreme Court. They also approved a partnership with the North Texas Alliance to Reduce Unintended Pregnancy in Teens to offer after-school programs.
Lori Kuykendall served on the state committee that helped rewrite health standards. Before the meeting, she criticized the SHAC process as flawed and lacking transparency. She said the materials adopted violate Texas law, which requires lessons to promote abstinence as the preferred choice of behavior.
