This book, which Dr. Michelle Cretella, Executive Director for
American College of Pediatricians, called "the most important
book a parent will ever read," is designed to help you
understand what's happening in your child's school -
and do something about it. Each chapter of the book addresses a
particular area of the school - the classroom, counselor's
office, school devices, etc.

Wondering what it's like? Today we're pleased to offer an
abridged excerpt from the "Classroom" chapter. To read
more, download your copy of the guide today and share it with friends!

 

Protecting Your Child in the Classroom
COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION

Parent/Community Voices
Parents and concerned citizens in Washington state were
upset when legislators passed a "Comprehensive Sex
Education" (CSE) bill - and started finding out
what was in some approved CSE curriculums. One mother
said, "I began reading all these lessons for children as young
as five that talked about sexual intercourse, how their private organs
worked, and even introduced pornography to really young
children." The parents note that activist groups like Planned
Parenthood are behind the push to require all schools to teach
sexual education.

What's Happening With Comprehensive Sex Education. . .

Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) is a
radical "rights-based" sexuality
curriculum that is being taught in many
public schools, replacing the facts-based sex
education of the past. Basic
sex education previously promoted abstinence with
a focus on biology, pregnancy, and sexually
transmitted
disease/infection (STD/I) prevention. Today,
 well-funded activist non-government organizations, like
Planned Parenthood, the Sexuality and Education Council of the United
States (SIECUS is a private, activist organization), and
Advocates for Youth, are forcing an extremist social
and political ideology into our children's classrooms under the
"comprehensive sex education" banner.

It may be a surprise for many parents to learn Planned Parenthood
is actually one of the largest writers and distributors
of sex education curriculum in the
world-a curriculum framework that teaches every
child, of any age, has sexual rights, including
the right to experience sexual pleasure, no matter
what, as long as there is "consent." 

 

For example, Planned Parenthood materials (that are in many
classrooms across the United States) teach:

Sex is always a good decision . . .

PP elementary STI Q and A

. . . no matter what age the child, no matter how risky the sex. .
. 

PP Happy Healthy and Hot 2

. . .no matter how drunk or high the child. . .

PP Happy Healthy and Hot 2

. . . And especially without parental involvement!

PP Exclaim 2

 

Be Aware!
How do I recognize Comprehensive Sex Ed in the Classroom?

Not all CSE curriculums will go by this name.  Here are
specific examples of content red
flags that your school may be teaching radical comprehensive
sex education.

CSE Often:
Teaches Abortion
Teaches Contraception & Potentially Promotes Abortifacients
Teaches LGBT Sexual Experiences
Prohibits Teaching/Stressing Conventional Ideas of Sex, Abstinence & Gender Identity
Prohibits Stressing Abstinence
Requires Sex
Ed for Elementary Students
Explanation and examples in the full book!

Know Your Rights!

* Parental Consent: Many states allow a parent to consent to
their child taking sex education or
health classes. This means you can
say "No!" and opt your child out of
sex education classes entirely. In addition, if
classroom content violates your religious beliefs or rights of
conscience, you have the right to opt your child out
of specific lessons. Be sure to
submit your opt-out to your school officials in
writing! Note: Planned Parenthood and
other extreme social groups are fierce advocates of
eliminating parents from a child's sexual decision-making,
including the consequences of teen sex. These groups want your
child to be able to access contraceptives, birth control, STI
treatment, and even abortion without your knowledge or
consent. Some state laws allow parents to
be excluded from these decisions their child may
make. See Chart (available in the full guide online)

* Curriculum Review: You have the federal (and often
state) right to request a copy of your
child's school curriculum from your local school
board of education.School districts may also post-school
curriculums on their websites. School curriculum is usually
considered a matter of public record and is required to be
released to families, although you may be responsible for
copying costs. Take this opportunity to review curriculum
for inappropriate content, biased material, or content that
contradicts your family's values. Be prepared to
talk with your child about your
values and beliefs and what they are being
taught.

* Lesson Plan Review: You have the federally protected right
to review teacher lesson plans and examine
textbooks and other supplemental materials (like videos,
activities, games, etc.). As a courtesy, be sure to give the
teacher ample notice you'd like to review their lesson
plans or other instructional materials. It
is also important to build good relationships with
your students' teachers to make access to content far
easier. 

* Observe Class: You have the federally protected right
to observe your child's class. You may need to
provide the school notice beforehand.  Some
schools are actively seeking parents to sign
waivers that they will not observe their
child's classroom. You have the federally protected right
to do so, even if you've signed a waiver
and later change your mind.
