One a day, please.
Actual good news:
Illinois public schools will be required to include medically accurate information about birth control in their sex ed classes under a measure that the state legislature passed this week. HB 2675, which Gov. Pat Quinn (D) is expected to sign into law, will prohibit health classes from teaching abstinence-only curricula.
The new law says that if schools have sex education classes, those classes can't rely
only on abstinence-based teaching, but must provide information on birth control and condoms as well. This is meant to rectify previous problems with Narnia-based courses misrepresenting the effectiveness rates of such things, i.e. lying outright to students, which is a big part of why abstinence-only education methods don't work or even make teen pregnancy rates worse: They discourage teens that do have sex (translation: the vast majority of them, and duh) from taking straightforward and effective steps to protect themselves.
It's likely that some districts will opt out of teaching sex ed at all rather than be forced to (shudder) teach about sex accurately, so that may be a future battle. But requiring what education is given be accurate is definitely a welcome move.
