Democrats tried to pass a bill Tuesday that would require schools that teach sex education to instruct students about birth control, but Republicans blocked final passage of the measure.
Republicans offered amendments – rejected by Democrats – that would have required schools to teach students about fetal development and the potential for criminal charges against underage students for having sex.
“It’s a criminal offense” to have sex with anyone under 16, Rep. Daniel LeMahieu (R-Cascade) said. “I think it’s appropriate we teach those kids what those criminal penalties are.”
Democrats who control the Assembly gave preliminary approval to the bill, but Republicans used a procedural maneuver to block final passage.
The Assembly will now take up the issue Thursday, the last day the house plans to meet this year. The Senate, which is also controlled by Democrats, is expected to follow suit early next year. Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle hasn’t said whether he supports the measure.
Sex education courses would have to tell students about the proper use of condoms and other forms of birth control, as well as their health benefits and side effects, if the bill became law. Students also would have to be told about how to prevent sexually transmitted disease.
Schools could decide not to have a sex education program, but they would have to inform parents they were not offering sex education.
Schools would not be allowed to offer abstinence-only programs. Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, which supports the bill, is researching the issue and has found a dozen Wisconsin schools so far that teach abstinence-only classes, said Amanda Harrington, a spokeswoman for the group.
Parents would be able to pull their children from the sex ed classes, as they can now.
Milwaukee Public Schools already incorporates instruction about birth control in its human growth and development courses.
The bill also would require sex education classes to teach students about puberty, pregnancy, gender stereotypes, how to make responsible decisions about sexuality, the benefits of abstinence, how alcohol and drugs affect decision making and the effects of media and peer pressure on views on sexuality.
