Massachusetts lawmakers are once again pushing for greater state control over sex education.
State Representative Jim O'Day (D-West Boylston) and state Senator Sal DiDomenico (D-Everett) re-filed "An Act Relative To Healthy Youth" (HD.3874/SD.2199) earlier this legislative session. The bill would require that every public school in the state that teaches sex ed use state education standards to teach the topic. State-approved curriculums include material that teaches seventh-grade students, who are typically 12 or 13 years old, about anal sex.
