The state Senate of North Carolina reworked a public school sex education bill that has been approved in the Senate Mental Health & Youth Services Committee.

The bill would require all school systems to “offer information to students in seventh, eighth and ninth grades about the use of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.” It would also require schools to teach two tracks – abstinence-based and comprehensive sex education. Parents would be required to fill out permission slips for the participation of their children.

The bill is yet to be voted on by the full Senate.
