The debate over whether schools should teach sex education to minors has been going on for decades. But now, perhaps more than ever, many parents are horrified by what their children are being taught – especially when parents, despite their religious beliefs, have no say about the teaching materials. In a small California community, parents and clergy were so appalled at the explicit and LGBTQ-inspired lessons, they went undercover to investigate deeper. What they discovered at a Riverside County Comprehensive Health Education meeting so horrified them, they determined to stop the curriculum.
Our Watch President Pastor Tim Thompson said, “We don’t want our children exposed to some of these things they are showing, th(is) pornographic, sexually explicit material. It has no place in the classroom. It’s not right, and it won’t be tolerated.”
Thompson was referring to Positive Prevention Plus, the text for sex ed classes. John Andrews, parent of a student in the Murrieta School District, was sick over the explicit material depicted in the “educational” materials. He said:
“They talk about mutual masturbation. They discuss gender roles, the gender spectrum, and in the support materials … they take it even further. They discuss everything, topics like roleplaying for different genders, blood play, dental dams … fisting is mentioned. I mean, they mention it all.
“If I were to show that material to a child, I would be brought up on charges. But somehow our public schools are allowed to teach this to junior high and high school kids.”
The graphics in the instructional guides use cartoon images so detailed that many parents found them inappropriate. Wanting to discover more about what children would be learning, Thompson’s group attended meetings held by the school boards. At one particular meeting in Riverside, a woman went “undercover” and recorded the event. Thompson said he was shocked to discover some of the biggest contributors to the new sex ed curriculum included Planned Parenthood and Cardea Services, which he said is a huge advocate for the LGBT community. Another shocker was that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was on hand to explain how to excuse children from class to get abortions without parents finding out.
“We knew parents had to see for themselves or else they weren’t going to believe it,” Thompson said, referring to the video he posted.
In the video, ACLU Attorney Ruth Dawson can be heard describing how to give students seeking an abortion an excused absence. She explained that the excused absence was necessary to ensure the school would still receive its financial support. However, the schools needed to ensure that the parents would not find out, so they needed to find a way to prevent their phone systems from making automated calls to parents informing them of students’ absenteeism.
Later in the meeting, Dawson explained to the audience the spectrum of gender identity, which is a social construct, not a binary. “We don’t have male/female full-stop. There are people who identify as non-binary. There are people who identify as gender-queer. There are a bunch of genders. Not only are gender identity and gender expression non-binary, but, really, clinical biological sex is not binary either.”
And if that isn’t confusing enough, she added, “Then we have ‘who are you physically attracted to’? Emotional attraction is also separate from physical attraction.”
But wait, there’s more. Dawson described the complex world of identities in talking about LGBT, and she went on to list some of them:
- Two spirt
- Bi-gender
- Male-to-female
- Female-to-male
- Transsexual
- Masculine women
- Feminine men
- Androgynous person
- Transvestites
- Third gender
- Drag
- Crossdressers
- Gender-queer
- Inter-gender
- A-gender
It is “a clear political agenda to destroy the traditional family in America,” said Parental Rights in Education Executive Director Suzanne Gallagher to the Daily Caller.
“Until now, the American family was considered to be the foundation of civic life; the smallest form of government, where children are taught responsibility, respect for authority, and national pride. Now, legislation passed throughout the states is designed to support minor rights, not parents’ rights. In the name of equity and inclusion, children are required to know and accept every form of sexual behavior, even though those behaviors are dangerous and contrary to their parents’ beliefs.”
Mary Rice Hasson, author of “Get Out Now: Why You Should Pull Your Child from Public School Before It’s Too Late,” attorney, and director of the Catholic Women’s Forum, said that Our Watch’s video was “deadly accurate.”
“Who gave progressive LGBTQ activists, Planned Parenthood, or the ACLU the right to teach other people’s kids about queer identities and explicit sexuality?” Hasson asked. “Especially over the objection of the kids’ own parents?”
Unfortunately, parents’ rights are being usurped by government and schools, and there doesn’t seem to be much hope reclaiming that power any time soon. In the quest for equality and inclusion, traditional Christian family values are being threatened.
The gay rights movement was annexed by intersectional feminism and now they are hosting pedophile activism.
IMHO pre-pubescent children are not sexually aware and really don’t need all this sexuality nonsense confusing them. It should be banned from schools until they reach the age of wanting to know more themselves.
Absolutely spot on Angelica. At least let them get through puberty. But then as we know the agenda is to confuse the kids before they hit puberty. Sadly this is resulting in too many suicides nd mental health issues.
While I’m here, please feel most welcome to peruse Article 26 item 3 of the UDHR:
“(3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.”
Thanks for the tip Imrah. A useful resource to consult.
When will they ever learn?
Depends who “they” are Imrah.
The people in charge of these “sex ed” programs are more concerned with their political agenda than the psychological welfare of the youngsters they are indoctrinating. But they in turn are being manipulated by a hidden hand with sinister intent.
In addition to all this “education”, kids are being sexualised by the modeling and fashion industries and there is a movement to legalize something that is so awful I won’t even mention it…
I’ll mention it for you Raymond. It’s called Pedophilia. Fortunately, the Epstein case and prior cases like Saville in the UK, serve to keep child sex abuse in the spotlight. As long as we remain silent or bury our heads in the sand, the agenda to destroy family values emboldens and grows. I’ve always been of the opinion that censoring distasteful issues and hoping they’ll go away generally has the opposite effect.
We should call out the grooming and sexual exploitation of prepubescent and pre-teen children for what it is.
