South Carolina May Update Sex Education Rules
Two Republican lawmakers call for updating South Carolina’s 25 year old sex education law to reduce teen pregnancy and poverty. The bill would add medically accurate reproductive health instruction and teacher certification while keeping abstinence emphasis and expanding contraceptive discussion to prevent unintended pregnancies and STDs. Opponents say the plan weakens abstinence focus and adds costs for districts. The law currently requires 12.5 instruction hours in high school with no penalty for noncompliance.
