Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced a bill yesterday [1] that would provide $206 million a year in grant money to states for comprehensive, medically accurate, and science-based sex [2] education. The bill, called the Responsible Education About Life (REAL) Act, would create a grant-giving program to be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. Grant recipients would receive funds to teach young people about the risks of being sexually active [3] as well as prevention of pregnancy [4] and sexually-transmitted diseases.
