Comprehensive Sex Ed Violates our Children

When the Comprehensive Sex Ed mandate (HF 615) was presented in the House Committees, the bill's author, Rep. Neva Walker, brought up Brigid Riley, the Executive Director of MOAPPP ( Minnesota Organization on Adolescents Pregnancy, Prevention, and Parenting) to testify its behalf. Parents want to know what exactly Comprehensive Sex Ed is, so it's important to know what curricula MOAPPP recommends.

March 13th testimony by a former teacher, Barb Anderson, revealed to the House Education Committee that the Educators Guide to Reproductive Health, published by the Birds & Bees Project, is a representative model of comprehensive sex education. It was introduced at the School Health Education Conference last month, attended by hundreds of health educators. The Birds & Bees Project trains teachers and uses comprehensive sex ed to educate more than 8,000 young people in the Twin Cities metro area each year. The Birds & Bees Project is recommended by MOAPPP.

Please read Ms. Anderson's entire testimony here. An excerpt:

"Promiscuity is presented as commonplace and normal, while abstinence-until-marriage is actually scoffed at in the classroom. Captain Condom video is included in this curriculum. Captain Condom asks 15-year-old-actors (who, in the video, appear to be naked under a blanket), Is there anything in your family, religious or cultural background that would prevent you from having sex, and do you want to save sex for marriage? The 15-year-olds loudly respond, Hell no! "

Another excerpt:

"On page 81 the lesson states, 'Condom use can be incorporated into your sexual experience in creative and sensual ways.' ... Comprehensive sex education encourages children to accept a homo/bi/trans sexual lifestyle as normative and teaches that there are three equivalent forms of sexual intercourse. Why? Because the guide insists on inclusiveness of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and their behaviors. Comprehensive sex ed protects the beliefs of students who do not conform to traditional gender roles, and tramples on the beliefs of those that do. This is unfit for a public school setting."

I am so glad my oldest is graduating next year and is out of the school system. My little one will head down a different path for education and skip this crap.

This hasn't been an issue with us - yet. I need to check into this. My daughter's 8th grade health class teacher did not teach about sex in any way, shape, or form last year (yay). He is gone now, and I have no idea what my other daughter will encounter next year. Also, I need to check to see what is taught at the high school level. You know, we shouldn't even have to worry about this stuff showing up and being taught in schools. Geez!
