Teach Consent in Public Schools
Consent needs to be taught as a part of sex education in public schools to try and lower the number of rapes and sexual abuse cases in the US.
Why is this important?
I took health class in Kenosha unified just like every other student but I was not taught about how to properly say "no" and stop a situation that could result in rape or sexual abuse. I was not taught what seems like common knowledge but isn't, if someone you are with says no or stop, that means stop what you are doing, not keep going. These are just a few points that need to be taught in sex Ed classes about consent. People need to know about it so we can stop all of the rape and abuse in this country.
