Sex Education Bill Would Give Grants to Programs that Teach Safe Sex

Proposed by 45 Democrats

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- A proposed sex education bill would give grants to programs in the United States that teach safe sex and reject gender stereotypes, lawmakers said.

The Real Education for Healthy Youth Act, proposed by U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and 43 other Democrats, would award five-year grants to state and local education agencies that encourage "comprehensive" sexual education, The Hill reported.
