ARIZONA: Top Educator Calls For Repeal Of “No Promo Homo” Law Banning Pro-LGBT Sex Ed Lessons On HIV

Gary Carnivele February 6, 2019

The Tucson Star reports:

The state’s new schools chief is calling on lawmakers to repeal a law that prohibits any courses on AIDS and HIV from portraying homosexuality “as a positive alternative lifestyle.”

In her first-ever State of Education speech, Kathy Hoffman told members of the House Education Committee on Monday the system needs to support the emotional well-being of students. She said that means “creating an inclusive environment that supports children from all backgrounds.”

And Hoffman said that also means recognizing that students come from all types of families, even those with two moms or two dads. Hoffman said educators also must consider students who are more likely to be bullied and harassed. She said that includes students in the LGBTQ community.
