The following comes from a Feb. 21 story on the Daily Signal site.
Fed-up California parents participated in a “Sexxx Ed Sit Out” Tuesday morning to protest the state’s sex education curriculum, calling it “pornographic,” “age-inappropriate,” “highly biased and medically inaccurate instruction.”
In an open letter to principals, lawmakers, and state Department of Education officials, the grassroots effort organized by Informed Parents of California rebuked what’s being taught under the 2016 California Healthy Youth Act and the proposed California Health Education Framework.
“Children are taught negotiation skills for consent to sex,” the letter says, adding:
They are instructed in their rights to confidential reproductive health services and directed to local Planned Parenthood clinics for abortion, birth control and STI [sexually transmitted infections] testing without parental notice. Some children have even been prescribed puberty blockers for gender transition, and sadly, parents have been so bullied by social workers they are afraid to speak publicly about it.
The liberal Left continue to push their radical agenda against American values. The good news is there is a solution.
Under the California Healthy Youth Act, sex education would be expanded to include topics such as gender and sexual orientation, bullying and abuse, and birth control, including emergency contraception.
“The reason parents and teachers and school board members are protesting is the way this law is being implemented,” former California teacher Rebecca Friedrichs said in an interview with The Daily Signal. “Children are being instructed at school against the parents’ will and behind their back to do things that are ethically risky and life-altering.”
Friedrichs, author of the book “Standing Up to Goliath,” has been featured by The Daily Signal in reports such as this and this for her Supreme Court battle against teachers unions.
Friedrichs said the new curriculum educates students in junior high and high school on how to use insertive condoms and dental dams for anal and oral sex. Friedrichs warns that schools may introduce the curriculum at any grade.
In coordinating the protest, Informed Parents of California instructed parents to take their kids out of school and gather in front of their local school district offices as a show of solidarity against the state-mandated curriculum. Parents were to submit a letter to the principal to explain their child’s absence.
America Figueroa, a mother of five who serves as the Hispanic spokeswoman for Informed Parents of California, said about 100 families from the three Desert Ridge Academy school districts in Indio, California, signed up to participate in the protest.
The proposed Health Education Framework, set to be adopted in May by the State Board of Education, says high school students “will explore and discover their identities, gender expression, and sexuality throughout their education and into and beyond their high school years.”
According to the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, parents may opt out only from topics such as “human development, pregnancy, family planning, and sexually transmitted diseases and not topics like sexual orientation and gender identity lessons.”
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.”
For God’s sake, let children be children! Stop sexualizing children at an early age. A friend who is a scientist reports the increase in these “new and different sexualities” can be linked to the use of pesticides and artificial preservatives in the food supply. My kids only eat organic foods.
Pesticides and preservatives cannot be healthy for children, and it is good to buy organic, but there were more such things being used in the 1940s and 50s, including DDT, and there was not so much “gender” confusion. Quite frankly, most of it is being taught, confusing children. If chemicals are causing it, it would more likely be from hormone injected meat and estrogen from certain plastic making and the sewage from the contraceptive pill getting into our waterways. The latter we know is deforming our fish.
Stop the right wing paranoia over sex education disguised as religious freedom in the church preach and teach what you wish but in the secular world you cannot enforce your myopic religious social political views on a diverse society with its practical needs it must consider parents however should be able to opt out Greek orthodox my church might not agree but that’s how I feel about it
