In some states, students learn about consent and healthy relationships. In others, they get "Baby Olivia."
The sex ed you get depends on your ZIP code — and your state’s politics

Thank you for the shout out and an AMAZING article @nadrakn.bsky.social 🥰
SIECUS’s 2025 State Report Cards illustrate how fragmented sex education is across states, with some requiring no sex ed at all and others mandating that sex ed be comprehensive, medically accurate and inclusive of LGBTQ+ people.

In some states, students learn about consent and healthy relationships. In others, they get "Baby Olivia" and abstinence-only instruction.

Here’s the truth:
✔️ Birth control is safe.
✔️ There are many options.
✔️ It’s your right to access it.
So why are lawmakers trying to take it away — and censor sex ed that teaches about it? Watch Persistent Lies and see the bigger picture.

Abstinence-only asks you to hide parts of yourself; your identity as a survivor, a gender non-conforming, or LGBTQ+ person may not be welcome. It's giving archaic. It can only see sex and sexuality as a performance to fulfill a predetermined role.
