As I have understood it and looked into the exact language of the bill in question, here is the exact language from the bill itself that was passed.
Here is the bill itself.
Quote:
|
Each class or course in comprehensive sex education offered in any of grades K through 12 shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV AIDS.
|
Originally the language was for 6 though 12, but that was crossed out and the bill was passed with the K in stead of the 6.
As I read that, this means that sex ed taught to kindergarteners SHALL include what followed.
