đŸŽ„Too many students in NY get incomplete or inaccurate sex ed - and many get none at all. Check out this thread of youth organizers from NYCLU's Teen Activist Project (TAP) sharing what comprehensive sex ed means to them. #ReproHealthCantWait
TAP activist Shadavia Burnett on why #ReproHealthCantWait: "Because so many young people don't get [sex education] at home, they need another place to turn, and the next place to turn should be school."
TAP student leader Jasity Mena on her experience receiving sex ed in school: "Sex education is important to me because i want to be well informed...however my sex education was biased, short lived, and incomplete." #ReproHealthCantWait
"There's not enough education around queer sex, which is so crucial, and needs to be taught - whether some folks like it or not," says TAP activist Leor Prusak.

We need comprehensive sex ed that includes and respects the experiences of queer students. #ReproHealthCantWait
"They shouldn't have drama teachers teaching sex ed - they should have fully trained professionals teach this, as you would have a math teacher with a math degree," urges TAP activist Michelle Seucan.
We must demand inclusive, comprehensive sex ed for all. #ReproHealthCantWait
TAP student activist Kellen Zeng shares that "sex education is not only education on sex - it is accurate, age-appropriate, comprehensive health education." #ReproHealthCantWait
