To: Governor Gary R. Herbert
Urge Gov. Herbert to Veto HB363
Stop HB363 from being signed into law.
Why is this important?
The Utah Legislature is attempting to force moral views into the school system to the detriment of children and public health by passing a law that would ban the talk of contraceptives in health and sex education classes, or allow schools to skip sex education all together. Current state law requires teaching abstinence-only programs and educators are not allowed to advocate the use of contraception. Gov. Herbert must be told that we owe our children more than an unrealistic ideal: we owe them an education, and the knowledge that will help them protect themselves.
