Dear John,

We must act NOW to counter the LGBT agenda that is harming our children.

As this school year begins, it may look very different in light of the pandemic, but radical activists are up to their old tricks working overtime to spread "social change" into school districts nationwide.

This political agenda is being driven by well-funded organizations like Planned Parenthood, the Human Rights Campaign, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Sexuality Information and Education Council (SIECUS), and more.

And these groups are not hiding their agenda.

There is a concerted effort by progressives to sexualize our children at younger and younger ages. Our public schools are prime locations to push a radical sexual ideology, and it's all being done under the guise of sex education.

But their goal is not education; it's indoctrination! We must push back!

In just a few short decades, sex education that used to teach "the birds and the bees" to high school students has now become an indoctrination tool, presenting the whole rainbow of sexual lifestyles to students as young as kindergarten!

And this agenda-driven curriculum is spreading across the country:

• California: Not only are public schools aligning with organizations like Planned Parenthood to teach students how to get abortions secretly, but they are also pushing hormone treatments for "transgender and non-binary youth" -- all without parental consent!
• New Jersey: The state partnered with Planned Parenthood to create new sex education standards for its public schools in which all eighth-graders will be proficient in "gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation" and students will also learn about the "positive" option of abortion.
• Virginia: Fairfax County students are exposed to lessons about their right to an abortion and given steps to get an abortion without parental consent.
• Wisconsin: Madison public schools have a new policy allowing a girl or boy -- of any age -- to "transition to a different gender identity at school," prohibiting teachers and staff from notifying parents and families.
• Texas: Austin schools use a curriculum that discourages using words like "mom" and "dad" to avoid terms that refer to exclusively "male" or "female" identities.
• North Carolina: Some schools use the "Welcoming Schools" curriculum created by the Human Rights Campaign, which introduces very young children to transgender talking points, encouraging them to question their biological sex.

But there is hope! The biggest obstacle to LGBT activists who want to sexualize and indoctrinate our children are engaged parents and grandparents with a biblical worldview.

Family Research Council has been leading the charge by equipping pastors, churches, lay leaders, and parents with information and resources to push back against this radical sexual ideology.
