Wisconsin GOP Pushes Sex Education Repeal

[AsherWI]

This is from NBC 26/AP in Green Bay, Wisconsin:

"MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Republicans are defending a proposal to dismantle a state law that requires schools that offer sex education to include contraceptives in their lessons.

Sen. Mary Lazich, a New Berlin Republican, has written a bill that would lift that mandate. She told the Senate education committee Wednesday school boards deserve the flexibility to design their own sex education curriculums, even though her bill would require an emphasis on abstinence.

Rep. Tamara Grigsby, a Milwaukee Democrat who wrote the original law, told the panel Republicans are trying to kill "her baby," referring to the statutes."

Once again, the republicans want to keep on destroying my state. In response, I created a website http://www.SaveSexEd.org and a petition on Change. I hope this isn't considered spamming -- I am just trying to support something I believe in. I hope you will join me.
