Thousands of Utah high school students may have to re-think their plans to take a concurrent enrollment course next year, if a controversial sex-ed bill, HB363, is signed into law by Gov. Gary Herbert, education officials say. Some concurrent enrollment courses, that give students both college and high school credit, deal with topics such as contraception that would be prohibited from discussion in public schools under the legislation that lawmakers passed. Around 1,100 high school students are now enrolled in concurrent courses at Weber State University, such as family relations and human development that may not be offered next year. The HB363 has not been on higher education officials' radar, since it was seen as a bill that would only affect public education. Concurrent enrollment classes are college-credit courses that can be taken in high school. If this becomes a law, the bill could prevent high schools from offering some college level courses that deal with human reproduction and sexuality. I hope that this won’t happen because students have actively participated in courses and any concurrent enrollment class that students have an opportunity to take is a good thing. This is really important for these students. Not only will HB363 strip parents of the right to choose for themselves how they want their kids taught sex ed, but now we're seeing that high school students are going to be denied the opportunity to take college courses. I think that this bill is tragic and shortsighted. Help us oppose HB363.

6 of 10 owe student loans they cant afford to pay.

Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012

To make higher education to those qualified US citizens and residents of the USA in a similar manner as other countries in the world (Switzerland, France, Spain, Mexico) where higher education is affordable to all of their residents and citizens. Let's make the USA the winner and not onoy a competitor.

The bill for higher education in this country is terribly high.

The Governor or the Legislature must not not cut down Private and Religious University funds or grants.
