Given our current state of affairs which is NOT improving the chances of children growing into adults and women going all their lives without having been sexually assaulted, this is a good idea. I am particularly impressed with the inclusion of guidelines for how these materials should be selected and introduced both to children and to their parents.Please vote YES on SF 172.

This bill is very much needed. It can help a child whats right and whats wrong. It could save a lot of lives. Please protect the children by SUPPORTING SF 172.

This bill is urgently needed, especially in todays climate where more and more ridiculous people who are barely educated themselves are trying to decide what everyone should know. This particular subject is URGENTLY NEEDED. Please pass.

Yes, this is an amazing bill and meets the needs of a community. Children need to be aware of potential dangers in a time where social media and societal pressures are high. This will protect the vulnerable and create a healthier future for all.

I support this bill. Evidencebased violence prevention programs save lives and protect children. I am grateful that my local school district offers these programs and think that all Iowa students should receive them as well.
