Pleased to sign on to this letter to the @TXSBOE calling for an "abstinence plus" approach to sex education, which is supported by 75% of Texas voters. Why is this important? Let& #39;s look at some facts. 1/ #SexEd #TXLege https://lufkindailynews.com/news/community/article_184a5f4a-17cf-541b-91ed-dc89d6f70192.html">https://lufkindailynews.com/news/comm...

In Texas, a baby is born to a teen mom every 21 minutes;

Sixty-three percent of 12th grade students report having had sex;

Texas has the highest rate of repeat teen births in the country; and

The rate of sexually transmitted infections has increased 25% among 15-24 year olds in the last decade.

These facts are why we& #39;re calling on the @TXSBOE to update Texas& #39; health education to reflect a practical, evidence-based sex education. END
