SB 5395 was signed into law in 2020 after years of public and political advocacy. It supports honest, age-appropriate and inclusive sex education.
There is now a ballot measure, Referendum 90, attempting to completely overturn SB 5395. This would be an incredible mistake for all school-aged children of Washington.
SB 5395 expands and improves our state sexual health education programs. It requires all public schools to offer appropriate, accurate, inclusive instruction.
R-90 is a scare tactic that circulates false statements about course contents. To support R-90 is to deny the students of Washington a safe learning experience that will serve them throughout their lives.
