Once again, some Democrats in the Massachusetts Legislature want to mandate sex education at the state level.
The Massachusetts Senate voted 33-2 on Thursday to approve a bill that would require all public school districts in Massachusetts that teach sex education to use state-approved curriculums that include detailed descriptions of non-procreative sex acts.
Two of the Senate's four Republicans voted against the bill, which sponsors call the "Healthy Youth Act." The other two voted for it, as did 31 Democrats.
