Do you care about what students in the Lowell Public Schools are learning in their health classes? Do you want them to receive comprehensive sex education with accurate information about both abstinence AND contraception and STD prevention?
Then ask the Lowell School Committee to adopt Planned Parenthood’s comprehensive sex education program, “Get Real,” which is both medically accurate and age-appropriate.
Students should be given all of the information they need to lead healthy lives. Abstinence only until marriage programs leave young people at risk by denying them medically accurate information about their health.
The Lowell School Committee’s curriculum subcommittee will be meeting to review the “Get Real” comprehensive sex education curriculum at 7:00 PM on Monday, September 15 th. The meeting will be held in the 2nd floor conference room at the Lowell School Department. Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts supporters will be attending and speaking out at the meeting.
We expect that those who oppose comprehensive sex education may show up in force to this meeting, and it is important that we show the subcommittee that Lowell residents support medically accurate and age-appropriate sexuality education in schools! Your presence at the hearing will help us tremendously. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM; we’ll meet at 6:45 to review materials and answer questions.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, you can still make your voice heard! Email Sarah
to sign up to write a letter to urge the School Committee to reject abstinence only until marriage programs!
If you have any questions, or want to attend this meeting RSVP by email Sarah Steinfeld
Please join us on the 15 th. We need your support!!
