MADISON - How to properly use birth control
would have to be taught if Wisconsin schools decide to offer sex
education under a bill that passed the state Assembly on Thursday.
The Assembly had given preliminary
approval to the bill on Tuesday but Republicans blocked a final vote
until Thursday.
The measure passed 48-43.
It still must clear the Senate and be
signed by Gov. Jim Doyle before it becomes law.
Sex education is not required in
Wisconsin schools, but for those that chose to provide it would be
required to include birth control as part of that instruction under the
bill.
The Guttmacher Institute says that 15
states currently require that sex education in schools include
instruction on contraception.
