· Helena Independent Record · By Alana Listoe · From the Border Crossing Law Firm media archive.
The Helena Independent Record covers a packed school-board hearing on a proposed K-12 health and human-sexuality curriculum. Speaking as an expectant father, Shahid supported giving children accurate, age-appropriate information rather than avoiding difficult subjects.
The 2010 hearing became one of Helena's most contentious local education debates, drawing arguments about public health, parental authority, LGBTQ students, and the role of science-based instruction.
