Missouri Attorney General Requests MSBA Member School Adopt Resolution Regarding Human Sexuality Instruction

The Missouri Attorney General has sent a letter to the Missouri School Board Association Executive Director to urge their members to adopt a model resolution pledging to uphold Missouri’s law on human sexuality instruction in public schools.

Attorney General Andrew Bailey identified recent events involving the Columbia Public Schools who took a group of middle school students to an event that featured drag show performances. He called the drag shows “inherently sexualized performances” with no education value.

The letter says the General Assembly approved a law which requires all instruction in human sexuality to be appropriate to the age of the students receiving the instruction. He says school board are responsible for making sure parents are kept informed.
