Editorial on AB 950 venereal disease instruction veto override
The piece argues against Governor Reagan's veto of Assembly Bill 950 authorizing school venereal disease instruction without prior parental consent. It notes bipartisan support in the Assembly and Senate, cites backing from the State Board of Education and medical groups, and urges legislators to override the veto to support epidemic-fighting education. It emphasizes placing instruction in general disease or health contexts rather than family life coursework. It calls for public input to lawmakers this week.
