The following comes from a Jan. 14 email sent by the Pacific Justice Institute.
Controversy is growing in a Northern California community as parents have learned disturbing new details about recent sex ed presentations for freshmen in the Acalanes Union High School District.
For months, parents have pushed school officials for answers about who was involved and what was being taught by Planned Parenthood on campus. Just before Christmas, in response to a public records request from Pacific Justice Institute, the District finally identified some of the PP employees involved with the program. Parents are now more concerned than ever. The parents started asking more questions and learned that one of the sex ed instructors at Acalanes High School, when she is not working for Planned Parenthood, leads “pleasure workshops” demonstrating the use of sex toys for a sex toy porn shop in Berkeley called Good Vibrations. It is not yet clear what this instructor may have told students about the store’s offerings.
Parents also identified the public Twitter feed of another sex ed instructor at Acalanes High School, the PP education manager for Northern California, where she calls herself a “pleasure activist.” She commented enthusiastically on attending the CatalystCon pornography conference for her continuing education along with other Planned Parenthood representatives, just prior to teaching at AHS this past fall. This event attracts leading members of the porn industry and focuses on topics like using explicit instructional media for sex ed, the history of sex toys and how to effectively share your sex life on the stage and on the page. Other tweets (since deleted) by this instructor are too vulgar to be included here.
PJI previously reported on the District’s use of racy sex checklists, a diagram of the “Genderbread Person,” and coaching students in asking each other if it’s okay to take their clothes off. In a letter sent to PJI in early January, a lawyer for the District strongly defended the program as “age appropriate” and claimed the sex checklists were merely “idea-generating worksheets” rather than illegal surveys or questionnaires.
Although the District is promising to continue the controversial program, there are signs it is beginning to feel the parents’ pressure. After being confronted with the backgrounds of the two instructors outlined above, Superintendent John Nickerson confirmed to parents that neither of those individuals would take part in the sex ed program that began January 5. The District has not disclosed, however, who would be teaching the class and has previously admitted it does not conduct background checks on PP instructors.
Sounds like a recall of the school board is long overdue.
These people all need to be put BEHIND BARS!! They are all hopelessly CORRUPT, BRAINLESS, CRIMINAL, SATANIC MISFITS! Their souls are extremely DAMAGED, due to MORTAL SIN!! They are also evilly and ignorantly corrupting the souls of precious youngsters, leading them to MORTAL SIN, and hopeless moral and spiritual death— TERRIBLE future American citizens!! THE WORST!! We desperately need the good, old-fashioned Traditional Family home, the Bible, the churches, and a firm education, from babyhood, in sin and Virtue, and what God expects! The discipline of Psychology also needs to firmly teach sin and virtue, in the context of Human Behavior– and the psychologists and school counselors, all need to help students grow up into excellent, well-adjusted, mature adults, with firm moral backbones, ready to be good American citizens! Our country has been dangerously in the jaws of Satan, for too long!!
There are historical examples of great Catholic saints, of other cultures, who were priests leading laymen in their parishes, in situations of tragic, soul-destroying sin. Our Church can look into its past history, and see the glorious transformations which these great saints brought about, by God’s grace, in their sin-destroyed laypeople, in these tragic situations! They said many Masses, and also held Novenas, Rosaries, Eucharistic Adoration, and sat tirelessly in the Confession box, daily! They also went out daily evangelizing, in the ghettos of prostitution, dope addiction, murder, crime, and all the worst of humanity– and won great victories, for the Lord! It can be done again– with deep faith, and great courage, of our priests! Perhaps there are some “hidden saints” among them, called to this work, for the Lord! It is badly needed!
I recall in high school, when priests or nuns talked to young people, about their future vocations. At that time, in pre-Vatican II days, almost every Catholic boy considered being a priest, and many Catholic girls considered the convent! We were told, a good candidate for either marriage, or the priesthood, or religious life, must have good character, and be well-balanced, with good adjustment to life. A young person who desired success, should study hard in school, be a good practicing Catholic, develop good character, and be well-adjusted, to maturely handle life’s many ups and downs! Also, not be too sensitive to yourself, have a basic self-acceptance and a balanced view of oneself and life— and work hard, to serve God and your fellow man! People too focused on themselves, who are emotionally immature, or even religious fanatics— are not good candidates, for either service to the Church, or for marriage, either! And those who seek hedonistic, lazy, selfish, immoral self-gratifications– are truly headed for self-destruction— possibly, even a criminal life! Very true!!

Parents should demand that Planned Parenthood should be removed from the schools immediately.
Parents should demand that the Superintendent of the School District be fired immediately.
If the School Board does not comply, start a recall campaign. with moral persons waiting to take over the positions.
Elections at every level are important folks !
It all gets back to educating oneself prior to voting at local levels, as well as State and Federal.
School Boards are elected or appointed by elected politicians.
Do not trust these school administrators, Dear Parents. You are in charge, here, so do not be cowed by these obviously incompetent, and yet cunning, people. What is at play here is demonic, and the angelic intelligence of Satan is far superior to your own.
Sounds strange, you say? Well, how would it have sounded 20 or even 10 years ago to tell parents that “pleasure activists” would be teaching freshmen (14 years old) about “sex ed” and that they also did work for America’s leading abortion industry? Now, that sounds strange.
Stranger still is the tepid message of Superintendent John Nickerson, who only gave assurances that the “pleasure girls” will not be involved in January’s program. Of course, the School District’s lawyer argues that this instruction is “age appropriate” too. Age Appropriate? Who made this decision? And, against what standards?
In all reality, the parents need to get an attorney and fight this. These school administrators are not good people, and are not well intended. Remember that your child can be just as dead with poison that is administered a little at a time, rather than all at once.
Also, check out the local Catholic or Christian High Schools. Oh, yes, where oh where is the good bishop in all of this. He should be thundering against this intrusion into what should be a parent’s role. Time to fight, or move the child, or leave the State to find a place of Faith.
Planned Parenthood is not a disinterested party as they make money off of sexual promiscuity. Using this kind of logic should we invite, Jim Beam or Seagrams to schools to teach about alcohol awareness? Perhaps to give in depth lectures as to the difference in alcoholic beverages, the delight of getting a buzz vs getting drunk.
Perhaps there could be tasting parties for the young to acclimate them to alcohol and hangover zones at every school to address the problem of those that – whoops – got caught in the inevitable trap of experimentation with alcohol. But whereas parents might give kids a hard time, thereby dissuading them from seeking help, those at the hangover zone will just help you along until your next binge.
The same thing could be done with illegal drugs. Hey, it’s all part of the landscape in which we live, so why not?
Removing Planned Parenthood’s entrenched, re-inforced and protected partnership with the Acalanes, Lafayette, Ca school system as well as the state education code on sexual health education is not as simple as one might think. PP writes the original wording for the very bills that protects and promotes them in the schools. Once those codes are set both they and the individual contracting schools can just ignore their responsibility in honoring them.
Another very sad but real reason PP has managed to creep so far into the educational system is because neither parents nor the church will take on the issue. Can you believe that for 10 years, PP has been, in one way or another, in this particular school and no parent has come forward, no student has revealed (apparently) to their parents the disgust they felt at having to attend these behavior modification sessions? No, I can’t either, but that’s the situation and i’m sure it is the situation in many other schools. now that we have come forward, parents are beginning to come forward. This latest session for freshmen, lasting a week, 9 families opted-out their students from the class. Parents are intimidated, manipulated, bullied, embarrassed and humiliated and dumbed-down in their understanding of what filth they are letting their children be exposed to while they protect their image and maybe even their childrens grades in school.
Public schools should not exist. They are run by public employees doing the will of a state agency. Parents are not very high in the “food chain”. Unions and political hacks run the show.
When government is involved in anything – efficiency, competence, and the will of the ultimate “customer” are given very low priority. Parents need to be made responsible for the education of their children, not people running for the next office in government.to which their ambition impels them. Government does not do anything as well as private entities and never will.
Ted, you are correct. Are you familiar with John Taylor Gatto? He was given the 1991 New York State teacher of the year award. He has authored numerous books including: “The Underground History of American Education: A School Teacher’s Intimate Investigation Into the Problem of Modern Schooling”, “Weapons of Mass Instruction”, “Dumbing us Down”, and “The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, 10th Anniversary Edition”. He promotes home schooling and is a champion of the poor.
