SIECUS State Profiles.

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

We are very thankful for the work of SIECUS!  For the seventh year in a row, SIECUS has put together a comprehensive series of documents in their State Profiles Report that illustrate all of the laws and policies each state maintains relative to sex education.  Each state’s profile articulates and breaks down the different bills and proposals put forth in the legislature during the previous fiscal year.  Moreover, the profiles provide a thorough presentation of statistical evidence regarding each state’s pregnancy rates, percentages concerning sexually transmitted infections, and data regarding sexuality among teenagers.  Click here to view each state’s profile.
