A federal judge has declined to block the enforcement of a new state law barring the teaching of human sexuality to students from pre-K through the third gradeINDIANAPOLIS -- A federal judge has declined to block the enforcement of a new state law barring the teaching of human sexuality to students from pre-K through the third grade. Instead, as government employees, their speech is limited to subjects and messages approved by the Legislature, he wrote. Indiana schools typically don’t provide any kind of sex education until at least fifth grade except for state-mandated programs focused on preventing child abuse. The lawsuit was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana in June. Republican lawmakers approved the law this year during a session that targeted LGBTQ+ people in the state.
