NC Statue 115C-81 requires that North Carolina teachers inform
students "...that a mutually faithful monogamous heterosexual
relationship in the context of marriage is the best lifelong means of
avoiding sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS." Adding the
qualifier "heterosexual" implies that homosexuals are incapable of
having a faithful monogamous relationship. This is simply not true. Such
a declaration is insulting to the residents of North Carolina.
Bullying is an epidemic that children face daily and it’s
one that’s taken a critical toll on the children of our state. LGBTQ
children are more prone to being bullied and the last thing they need is
to be told BY THEIR SCHOOLS they’re less than their classmates because
of their sexual orientation. This has to be changed. We request the NC
General Assembly remove this language from this state law.
