Correction: ‘Sex Ed on the Line’
Harriet Tubman Middle
School in north Portland
will be reopening in
the fall. In celebration,
a Alumni Gala for all
former administrators,
teachers, staff and
students that graduated
from the school is
planned for Saturday,
July 21 at the nearby
Leftbank Annex, 101 N.
Weidler St.
A story about the Trump Administration’s new policies
for abstinence-only sexual education and cutting funds
to health care providers (“Sex Ed on the Line: Advocates
fight new rule and brace for cuts, June 27 issue) should
have clarified that the changes in requirements for Title X
family planning programs across Oregon and Multnomah
County’s Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program are
separate but related issues. Our front page story referred
to both programs as “Title X.” We regret the error.
