November 9, 2015. In October Governor Brown signed two laws making changes to California's requirements for sex education in high schools. One of those laws makes California the first state to require certain high schools to teach about sexual violence prevention and the “yes means yes” sexual consent standard. Host Joseph Pace talks with educators about the new laws on City Visions.
