Group submits signatures to repeal Washington's sex education law

A group that wants to repeal Washington state’s sex education law submitted petitions Wednesday in the hopes of allowing voters to decide the future of the law in Washington.

“Parents for Safe Schools” said they gathered more than 266,000 signatures.

If the number is confirmed, it’s well more than the roughly 130,000 verified they would need to qualify for the ballot. As they dropped off the signatures Wednesday, they said it was challenging considering they did it during the quarantine.

What they're hoping to put on the ballot would be called Referendum 90 and it would repeal Senate Bill 5395. Senate Bill 5395 requires every public school in the state to provide “comprehensive sexual health education” to each student by the 2022-23 school year.

Seeing that this is a presidential election year there's no way this law gets repealed.
