The Colorado Senate approved a measure that would require all but one school district to teach kids comprehensive sex education, leaving behind abstinence-only curricula, The Denver Post reported.
While educators would be allowed to mention abstinence, they also would have to discuss sexually transmitted infections and birth control.
Sen. Shawn Mitchell was opposed to the bill and told colleagues the curriculum will teach kids about “condoms, consummation and copulation.”
The bill, HB 1292, already passed the House and was expected to receive a final vote in the Senate by week’s end.
