Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211's controversial adoption of the state's revised sex education curriculum last November remains a point of criticism from some in the community and a matter of debate among the 11 candidates running for the board.
Branss, a 2022 Palatine High School graduate, said he's in favor of the revised curriculum and believes only some parents -- those he believes dislike gay people -- have a problem with it. He specifically disagreed with a statement Saam made at a candidates forum in January arguing that the curriculum would create hypersexualized students.

Barron also doesn't find the current curriculum that different from what she was taught at Hoffman Estates High School years ago. She said the lessons prevent violence and provide necessary life skills, such as acknowledging members of the LGBTQ community as part of society.
