Dear John,

The Texas Senate is trying to use last minute legislative tricks to
undermine sexual education in Texas. WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR ADVOCACY THIS
MORNING. 

A bill that would have required parents to actively opt their children in
to sex education failed to get key hearings. However, senators attached it
as an amendment to a critical school finance bill._ Now, it could become
law without going through the full legislative process. _

WE NEED YOU TO CALL OR EMAIL THESE MEMBERS WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

_“I strongly oppose the sex ed opt in language that has been added to HB
1525. It’s essential that you remove this language in conference
committee._

_Texas already has extremely strong laws notifying parents about sex
education and allowing parents to opt their children out of sex ed
classes._

_This opt-in language would just create red tape for students, families and
school districts. Have you ever missed a form or a permission slip in the
bottom of your inbox or your child’s backpack? Students could lose access
to important health information because of this red tape.”_

Thank you,

Jen Biundo, Director of Policy and Data
