Throughout instruction on human sexuality or sexually transmitted diseases, an accredited school shall:

• (1) require a teacher to teach abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage as the expected standard for all school age children;
• (2) include in the instruction that abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain way to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and other associated health problems; and
• (3) include in the instruction that the best way to avoid sexually transmitted diseases and other associated health problems is to establish a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage

The state department must provide information stressing the moral aspects of abstinence from sexual activity in any literature that the state department distributes to school children and young adults concerning available methods for the prevention of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Such literature must state that the best way to avoid AIDS is for young people to refrain from sexual activity until the young people are ready as adults to establish, in the context of marriage, a mutually faithful monogamous relationship
