S.268 /H.544 An Act relative to healthy youth (Sen. DiDomenico, Reps. O'Day & Howard)  is a common sense bill that reflects the consensus of the vast majority of MA residents. The bill's core provision is simple: it will require any public school that already chooses to teach sex ed to provide a "medically accurate, age-appropriate, comprehensive sexual health education." It rests on three key pillars:

1. Sex ed should be accurate and age-appropriate. 
2. Sex ed should be consent-based.
3. Sex ed should be LGBTQ+ inclusive.  

The bill's other provisions also reflect the needs of our state.

• It supports family involvement.
• It emphasizes media literacy.
• It represents the popular consensus.
