Senators in Washington passed a bill Wednesday that would require every public school in the state to provide comprehensive sexual health education. Senate Bill 5395 passed 28-21. It now moves on to the House. According to KATU’s news partner, The Columbian, Democrats backed the bill and argued it is a way to encourage healthy, consensual relationships, deter sexual violence and guard against sexual predators. The Republicans’ stance is that the bill weakens the authority of parents and school boards and imposes orders from the state’s Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
