This bill would change the rules around how human sexuality topics are taught in Kentucky public schools. It would allow puberty instruction to continue for students in fifth grade and below, and it would shift the system so that parents would need to actively choose to remove their child from human sexuality instruction rather than actively sign up for it. Who it may affect: parents of students in public elementary and middle schools, and public school educators.
