   To provide for the overall health and well-being of young people, 
 including the promotion and attainment of lifelong sexual health and 
             healthy relationships, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Real Education and Access for 
Healthy Youth Act of 2021''.

SEC. 2. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.

    (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide young people 
with sex education and sexual health services that--
            (1) promote and uphold the rights of young people to 
        information and services that empower them to make decisions 
        about their bodies, health, sexuality, families, and 
        communities in all areas of life;
            (2) are evidence-informed, comprehensive in scope, 
        confidential, equitable, accessible, medically accurate and 
        complete, age and developmentally appropriate, culturally 
        responsive, and trauma-informed and resilience-oriented;
            (3) provide information about the prevention, treatment, 
        and care of pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and 
        interpersonal violence;
            (4) provide information about the importance of consent as 
        a basis for healthy relationships and for autonomy in 
        healthcare;
            (5) provide information on gender roles and gender 
        discrimination;
            (6) provide information on the historical and current 
        condition in which education and health systems, policies, 
        programs, services, and practices have uniquely and adversely 
        impacted Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Asian American and 
        Pacific Islander, and other People of Color; and
            (7) redress inequities in the delivery of sex education and 
        sexual health services to marginalized young people.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Young people need and have the right to sex education 
        and sexual health services that are evidence-informed, 
        comprehensive in scope, confidential, equitable, accessible, 
        medically accurate and complete, age and developmentally 
        appropriate, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed and 
        resilience-oriented.
            (2) Currently, there is a gap between the sex education 
        that young people should be receiving based on expert standards 
        and the sex education many actually receive.
            (3) Only 29 States and the District of Columbia mandate sex 
        education in schools.
            (4) When there is sex education or instruction regarding 
        human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or sexually transmitted 
        infections (STI), 15 States do not require the content to be 
        evidence-informed, medically accurate and complete, age and 
        developmentally appropriate, or culturally responsive.
            (5) Many sex education programs and sexual health services 
        currently available were not designed to and do not currently 
        meet the needs of marginalized young people. Some such programs 
        and services actually harm marginalized young people.
            (6) For marginalized young people, a lack of comprehensive 
        in scope, confidential, equitable, and accessible sex education 
        and sexual health services is not unfamiliar, but rather a 
        longstanding manifestation of white supremacy, which has 
        touched every aspect of our history, culture, and institutions, 
        including the education and healthcare systems.
            (7) The development and delivery of sexual health education 
        and services in the United States historically has been rooted 
        in the oppression of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Asian 
        American and Pacific Islander, and other People of Color.
            (8) The United States has a long history of eugenics and 
        forced sterilization. The sexual and reproductive rights and 
        bodily autonomy of specific communities deemed ``undesirable'' 
        or ``defective'' were targeted by our governments resulting in 
        state-sanctioned violence and generations of trauma and 
        oppression. These communities include--
                    (A) people with low incomes;
                    (B) immigrants;
                    (C) people with disabilities;
                    (D) people living with HIV;
                    (E) survivors of interpersonal violence;
                    (F) people who are incarcerated, detained, or who 
                otherwise have encountered the criminal-legal system;
                    (G) Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color;
                    (H) people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, 
                transgender, and queer; and
                    (I) young people who are pregnant and parenting.
            (9) Black young people are more likely to receive 
        abstinence-only instruction. Research shows that abstinence-
        only instruction, also known as ``sexual risk avoidance'' 
        instruction, is ineffective in comparison to sex education.
            (10) Black, Indigenous, and Latinx young people are 
        disproportionately more likely to be diagnosed with an STI, 
        have an unintended pregnancy, or experience sexual assault.
            (11) The framework of Reproductive Justice acknowledges and 
        aims to address the legacy of white supremacy, systemic 
        oppression, and the restrictions on sex education and sexual 
        health services that disproportionately impact marginalized 
        communities. Reproductive Justice will be achieved when all 
        people regardless of actual or perceived race, color, 
        ethnicity, national origin, religion, immigration status, sex 
        (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability 
        status, pregnancy or parenting status, or age have the power to 
        make decisions about their bodies, health, sexuality, families, 
        and communities in all areas of life.
            (12) Increased resources are required for sex education and 
        sexual health services to reach all young people, redress 
        inequities and their impacts on marginalized young people, and 
        achieve Reproductive Justice for young people.
            (13) Such sex education and sexual health services should--
                    (A) promote and uphold the rights of young people 
                to information and services in order to make and 
                exercise informed and responsible decisions about their 
                sexual health;
                    (B) be evidence-informed, comprehensive in scope, 
                confidential, equitable, accessible, age and 
                developmentally appropriate, culturally responsive, and 
                trauma-informed and resilience-oriented;
                    (C) include instruction and materials that 
                address--
                            (i) puberty and adolescent development;
                            (ii) sexual and reproductive anatomy and 
                        physiology;
                            (iii) sexual orientation, gender identity, 
                        and gender expression;
                            (iv) contraception, pregnancy, and 
                        reproduction;
                            (v) HIV and other STIs;
                            (vi) consent and healthy relationships; and
                            (vii) interpersonal violence;
                    (D) promote gender equity and be inclusive of young 
                people with varying gender identities, gender 
                expressions, and sexual orientations;
                    (E) promote safe and healthy relationships; and
                    (F) promote racial equity and be responsive to the 
                needs of young people who are Black, Indigenous, and 
                other People of Color.
