New Law Requires Parental Consent for Sex Ed in Italy

A recent development in Italy's education system may impact local students. The senate has passed a bill that restricts access to comprehensive sexuality education. The new law requires parental consent for sex education in middle and high schools. It also bans sex education entirely in elementary schools. Further details about the bill and its implications are available from Human Rights Watch, including the reasoning behind the legislation and its potential effects on local students.
