More information is available at https://blackandindianmission.org Speak Out Against House Bill 1032 Archbishop Aquila recently asked Catholics to speak out against House Bill 1032, a problematic bill that would require public and charter schools to either adopt a so-called comprehensive sex-ed curriculum, or to provide no instruction on sexuality at all. Almost 400 people showed up to the House Committee hearing for the bill last Wednesday and made their objections known about this troubling legislation. It was great to see concerned Catholics accurately identify that turning sex education over to a state intent on cultural engineering is not good for our young people. Thank you for your efforts to protect parental rights, the gift of human sexuality, and a scientifically sound approach to education! To stay informed about the progress of this bill and your next chance to make your voice heard, sign up for the Legislative Network at www.cocatholicconference.org/voter-voice.
