Wisconsin Senate Passes Bill Banning Abstinence-Only Education in Schools

Last Thursday the Wisconsin State Senate passed the "Healthy Youth Act" mandating that all sexual education classes in public schools teach about contraception. Wisconsin Governor James Doyle has said that he will sign the bill. The bill takes from local school boards the power to determine the content of classes. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, which had been pushing for the bill, had identified several schools that taught abstinence-only programs. LifeSiteNews
