In the wake of the Larry Nassar scandal, a bill has been brought forward that would change how sex education is taught in Michigan schools. The bill would mandate teaching affirmative consent, otherwise known as a “yes mean yes” policy, in sex education classes. It clarifies a lack of protest does not mean consent, and a person can revoke their consent at any time. However, the bill is unlikely to be passed by the Republican-controlled legislature before the summer recess.
