Implement New Unit on Consent in Health Class at PTHS
Implement a new unit within their required health class for all students to learn what consent is. A crisis counselor from ADV/SAS or another certified individual should visit every health class to ensure each student understands the true definition of consent.
Why is this important?
Students at PTHS have made it clear that they do not understand the meaning of consent. Coercion, blackmail, pressure, and drunken yeses are NOT forms of consent. After posting an anonymous forum, I have received over 60 claims of sexual assault by PTHS students. School is meant to be a safe environment that promotes learning and academic growth. It should not be a breeding ground for sexual harassment and assault.
