The Texas Board Of Education has revised it's curriculum to allow public school teachers to teach students in seventh and eighth grades about birth control methods such as condoms and other contraceptives, reports KIII TV.
Under this revision, public school educators will now be allowed to teach students in seventh and eighth grade about birth control methods such as condoms and other contraceptives, and about their effectiveness in preventing pregnancy, S.T.D.s and S.T.I.s. High school health educators were already required to teach about different methods of birth control, but health education is an optional course at the high school level, unlike in elementary school and middle school.
The conservative think-tank Texas Values said in a press release that they were pleased with the changes by the board, which rejected more "radical" changes being suggested.

"Despite months of testimony and heavy lobbying from pro-LGBT and pro-abortion activists, over 17,000 parents and citizens supported the SBOE to reject topics such as sexual orientation, gender identity, abortion, and comprehensive sex education," wrote Mary Elizabeth Castle, the group's policy advisor.
