Overturn of bizarre liberal sex-ed bill advances in Wisconsin

On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, the Assembly Education Committee (Rep. Steve Kestell, Chair), met to "exec" on several bills. One of the bills was AB 337, the Strong Communities...Healthy Kids Act--a bill that revises and repeals the so-called "Healthy Youth Act" passed last session by Madison & Milwaukee liberal elites. The committee passed the bill on a 6-4 vote, which means it is now ready for a votein the full Assembly. Those representatives who opposed this bill, including Rep. Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) were very vocal and very strong in the comments. Their comments evidenced a real disdain for the ability of people at the local level to make decisions in the best interest of the students in their schools. The senate companion bill (SB 237) passed last fall. Wisconsin Family Action anticipates that the Assembly will take up the Senate version when it actually votes on the bill. Once the Assembly takes its action, the bill will be sent to Governor Walker. We anticipate the governor will sign the bill.
