NEW YORK, NY–(ENEWSPF)–May 23, 2013. Planned Parenthood Federation of America celebrated passage yesterday of state legislation to improve sex education in key states. With a vote of 37 to 21, Illinois state senators sent Governor Pat Quinn a bill that creates uniform standards for sex education. In addition, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper is poised to sign a similar measure that will ensure sex education programs that are taught in public schools are comprehensive and medically accurate, and a similar bill is advancing in Nevada, one of the three states in the country where parents are required to opt a student “in” to sex education curricula.
