Far too often, young people do not receive honest and clear information about how to ask for and receive consent and how to promote healthy intimate relationships. Last May, the Center for American Progress (CAP) published an issue brief highlighting that, of the 24 states that mandate sex education, only 11 states and Washington, D.C., included references to healthy relationships, consent, or sexual assault in their sex education standards. Since then, momentum has grown to modernize sex education standards. Although CAP's previous brief explored only the 24 states with mandated sex education, progress has occurred in additional states, so this brief considers all of the United States. Last year, for example, six states--Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island--added language about consent or healthy relationships to their standards. Other states are taking additional steps to modernize their standards by making instruction LGBTQ-inclusive or adding information about the consequences of sharing explicit images online or through text message. This issue brief first outlines the shifting landscape of sex education in the United States and then highlights how students and newly elected female lawmakers are leading the way on this issue.
