How to handle an unintended pregnancy is a decision a woman makes with her doctor, not with the school board. Isn’t that something we can all agree on? But Gilbert Public Schools in Arizona has found a new way for the government to force its ideology on students: textbook stickering. At the school board and superintendent’s command, biology textbooks are being slapped with stickers urging students not to have abortions.

Anti-abortion stickers are not a part of teaching biology. Email the school board and tell them to stop dictating health care decisions and focus on educating students.

Oh, but there’s more. The stickers also push abstinence, but don't provide any information about effective prevention methods for those who do become sexually active. In some cases schools are stickering the books, while others are encouraging (perhaps even requiring) students to sticker their own books.

Let’s focus on effective sex education, not ideology. Tell this school board to stop putting anti-abortion, pro-abstinence stickers on biology textbooks!
