This week the Keeping Youth Safe and Healthy Act was signed into law. This
is a critical step forward to improve sexual health education for students.
The new law updates and adds standards for teaching sex education, so that
Illinois schools providing this curriculum will teach it in a more
inclusive and comprehensive way.
Thank legislators for supporting this legislation.

Several years ago, the ACLU of Illinois worked on a law that ended the
teaching of abstinence-only sex education in Illinois. We knew there was
more work to do. The Keeping Youth Safe and Healthy Act creates personal
health and safety standards for grades K-5 and expands comprehensive sexual
health education standards for grades 6-12. The new law ensures that the
personal health and sexual health education taught in our state is
comprehensive and inclusive. And addresses the reality that too many
students in Illinois have been stigmatized and or made invisible in these
courses, such as LGBTQIA+ students and pregnant and parenting students.
Listen to our podcast episode to find out more about this new law.

This new law is necessary to make sure students have the information and
tools they need to be safe, and to support responsible and informed
decision-making about their health and well-being throughout their lives.
To help spread this message, we worked with a group of students who created
and designed a zine to provide information and tools to other students.
