Referendum 90 is a statewide ballot measure that will uphold the new Washington state law requiring all public schools to teach science based, age-appropriate, inclusive, comprehensive sexual health education to K-12 students.
We support this referendum because human health and environmental health are connected. Science based education is an important component to foster human health and well-being, which in turn helps ensure healthy and safe communities that are better for our environment. Washington Environmental Council is grounded by the belief that we must follow what the science says. At its root Referendum 90 is about removing science based education from the state’s education curriculum. Whether it is about sexual health or climate change, teaching science in our classrooms is vital.
