A member of the Worcester School Committee who voted for a comprehensive sex education curriculum that drew stiff opposition from some parents said some of the public comments against it amount to hate speech.
Tracy O'Connell Novick, whose successful 2019 candidacy was endorsed by Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts, was one of five members of the committee who voted for a sex education curriculum called Rights, Respect, Responsibility, published by Advocates for Youth, on Thursday, May 6. The committee voted 5-2 in favor of it.
