Parents protest California's new sex education guidance

A few hundred protesters have gathered to protest proposed changes to sex education guidance for California's public school teachers.

The California State Board of Education is scheduled to vote on new health education guidance for teachers. The proposal includes advice about how to teach sex education, including discussing masturbation with middle-schoolers and recommending books that teach healthy practices for LGBT high schoolers.

Four-year-old Angelie Reyes held a sign that read: "Protect my innocence and childhood." She traveled more than 400 miles to Sacramento with her mother, Patricia Reyes, who called the proposal "pornography."

Michele McNutt, a mother with two children in elementary school, said she supports the proposal because it is never too early to teach her daughters about healthy relationships and consent.
