Consent isn’t complicated. If they don’t say yes, don’t. If they can’t say yes, don’t. And if you see someone being harmed, don’t just watch. Step in or get help. Here’s how to start teaching this to your kids now, so they carry it to college.

🚨 In 2026, SIECUS tracked 39 bills introduced in 17 states to censor materials in schools and libraries—only one of which passed. This follows a record 12,000 book bans in the 2025-26 school year.

Your body belongs to you. A small, well-funded minority is replacing real sex ed with shame-based, medically inaccurate information that serves their backwards agenda – not families, not young people, and not the truth.

I was raped at a frat party. It’s a shockingly common experience and preventative interventions in college are way too late.

Our new report on sex ed curriculum examined 50 school districts across New York State. We gave each district an A-F grade - and nearly half of the school districts received an F, based on their coverage of essential topics, the accuracy of the info taught to students, and how biased it was.
