Bill > HCR138

This Concurrent Resolution requests the Department of Education to establish a student-led working group tasked with actively including diverse identities within and beyond sexual health education, promoting culturally responsive ideas about mutual respect in relationships, and identifying opportunities to integrate these identities into sexual health curricula, all guided by the Hawaiian principle of "aloha kekahi i kekahi," which emphasizes mutual love, honor, respect, dignity, kindness, and caring. The working group will include student advocates from various organizations, cultural experts, sexual health education specialists, and teachers, and is expected to provide recommendations for teacher training, student curriculum, and other necessary materials to ensure that the concept of "aloha kekahi i kekahi" is fully realized and responsibly shared with the state's youth, particularly concerning diverse sexual identities and gender expressions.
