Statehouse Update with Jason Mann. Sex Education in Alabama classrooms.

Jason Mann — chair of the Alabama Sexual Risk Avoidance Coalition — joins Greg to break down a major education policy debate unfolding in Montgomery, Alabama. Mann will explain sexual risk avoidance (SRA) — a prevention-focused approach that emphasizes The Success Sequence and why his organization is advocating that it be the model permitted in Alabama public schools that teach any form of sex education. Jason will talk about the policy goals behind the measure, how the coalition believes it will impact health outcomes and family values, the political response at the Statehouse, and what happens next in the legislative process. Listeners will gain insight into both the substance of the bill and the broader debate over sex education in Alabama schools.
