Requires instruction on human growth and development in schools

Summary

The bill would require public and charter schools in Missouri to provide a human growth and development curriculum that covers abstinence, sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, adoption, conflict‑management skills, legal responsibilities, sexual predators, and definitions of sexual harassment, violence and consent. It also mandates showing specific fetal‑development videos and requires schools to notify parents of the content and give them an opt‑out right. The goal is to give students medically accurate information while promoting abstinence as the preferred choice.
