"This new study by the Public Health Institute puts to rest any doubts about the depth and breadth of California parents' support for sensible and effective sex education. We now clearly see how robust this support is regardless of location, religion, education, race, political ideology, and other factors." -- California Assembly Member Julia Brownley (D-Woodland Hills) about "Sex Education: The Parent's Perspective" "Californians should
be proud to lead the nation in reducing the rate of
unintended teen births. This study demonstrates the
significant benefits of addressing this issue in a
comprehensive manner, as well as the need for policy
makers to continue providing strong leadership in
addressing the
problem." --State
Senator Denise Moreno Ducheny (D-San Diego), about
