SPRINGFIELD – We tell our kids that No means No. But Illinois could mandate teachers to include “consent” in a sex education curriculum.

“Clearly, there’s a problem. We’ve seen it with Dr. (Christine) Blasey Ford,” said State Rep. Ann Williams (D-Chicago) referring to accusations against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. “We’ve seen it with the terrible stories of college campuses, assaults happening, women passed out. I think the sex ed component, including consent — a robust conversation about what consent really means – is important.”
