Bill sponsor Carol Ronen (D-Chicago) said in the press release that the bill mandates that any school that has sex education must provide "comprehensive, medically accurate sexuality education." And what would that consist of for kindergarteners? The groups listed in the release support the definitions provided in the SIECUS Guidelines used and promoted by Planned Parenthood nationally. Here are the SIECUS guidelines for kindergartners through third grade, as excerpted from a report by Fran Eaton in the Illinois Review:
"In Illinois circles, those groups promoting comprehensive sex ed often referred to the standards set up by SIECUS (Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States). SIECUS standards for comprehensive sex ed are available online here in the 2004 form. The legislation and standards set the year before on SB 99 were the same as these:
