Once again, the republicans in my state are stopping at nothing to destroy Wisconsin. Here in the latest attack, according to NBC 26 and the AP:
"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."
The Healthy Youth Act that was passed last year ensures sex education taught in Wisconsin public schools is medically accurate, age-appropriate and comprehensive. The Healthy Youth Act gives teens the tools they need to stay healthy now and in the future.
I invite you to join me in supporting and protecting the Healthly Youth Act by visiting www.SaveSexEd.org -- it's a website that I've created in response to the republican's proposal to take away cmprehensive sex education. I hope you will join me; "Like" the Facebook Page, follow @SaveSexEd on Twitter and sign the petition.
Like I said last night, I have no intentions to vote for a single republican in my life. Here is another reason why I don't plan to vote for a republican anytime soon -- or ever!
