It's Happening in Illinois!
On August 20, 2021, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed into law a comprehensive sex-ed bill, IL PA 102-0522, the first of its kind in the nation, that sexualizes your child and strips them of their innocence beginning in kindergarten. Read an easy to read commentary about what the adoption of the National Sex Education Standards in Illinois means.
My School District Opted out so are we good?
Maybe, maybe not. We've been told that 500+ Illinois school districts have publicly stated that they’ve opted out. However, be aware that your school may be aligning and using portions of a third-party curriculum such as Candor Health Education Curriculum. It is important that you understand to what extent and how a district may notify you if any of this
changes with time. As with any of this, opting your child out is completely within your right.
What Can You Do?
Ask your school for the specific curriculum taught to your child regarding Health Education and Sex Education.

America First Legal Foundation
Curriculum
Parents have the right to inspect “any instructional material” used as part of the education curriculum for the student. The parent who wants to exercise this right must request the material; the school does not have to provide access to the material without being asked first. Parents should demand that schools disclose teacher training materials designed to affect or direct student instruction as “instructional material.”
After reviewing the curriculum determine whether to opt-out which is your right! Opt-out instructions and forms.
Learn what the Health Education (before New comprehensive sex education) and the New Comprehensive Sex Education programs “typically” include in the chart below.
In the chart below, view what your child will learn if your district either adopts the Comprehensive Sex Education Curriculum or if they are teaching Health/Sex Education.
The specific details of a sample Health/Sex Education curriculum is taken from McHenry County School District 47.
Check YOUR district's website and with your children's teacher for the specific curriculum details. It is your right as a parent to see exactly what your child is being taught, and what teachers are being trained to teach.
