Current Illinois Sexual Education Law and Policy
The Illinois School Code states that course instruction in grades 6 through 12 must include instruction on the prevention, transmission, and spread of AIDS. Any school that teaches sexuality education must also emphasize that, “abstinence is the expected norm in that abstinence from sexual intercourse is the only protection that is 100% effective against unwanted teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome when transmitted sexually.”
The Comprehensive Health Education Program, which is a component of the Critical Health Problems and Comprehensive Health Education Act, states that the following areas must be addressed in all elementary and secondary schools:
- Human ecology and health;
- Human growth and development;
- The emotional, psychological, physiological, hygienic and social responsibilities of family life, including sexual abstinence until marriage;
- Prevention and control of disease; and
- The transmission and spread of AIDS among others.
All courses that discuss sexual intercourse are to include the hazards of sexual intercourse, failure and success rates of condoms, and explanations of when it is unlawful for males to have sexual relations with females. Course material must also include information regarding the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act as well as provide information about responsible parenting and the availability of confidential adoption services.
If any school provides education in aspects of “family life,” then those courses must include instruction regarding alternatives to abortion. If any school district provides courses of instruction designed to promote wholesome and comprehensive understanding of “the emotional, psychological, physiological, hygienic, and social responsibility aspects of family life, then these courses will include teaching alternatives to abortion that are age-appropriate; and whenever such courses are provided in any grades 6–12, then such courses will also include instruction on the prevention, transmission and spread of AIDS.” School districts can also provide parenting education for grades 6–12 and include such instruction in the courses of study regularly taught.
Parents or guardians may remove their children from any or all sexuality education, family life programs and/or STD/HIV programs. This is referred to as an “opt-out” policy.
