TechnoratiThe last four decades have seen a significant shift in the philosophy behind sex education in America’s public schools. Prior to the sexual revolution, human biology and reproduction, hygiene, and marriage were the focus of sex education. In essence, this approach was grounded in particular moral virtues, namely biblical.
The new emphasis seeks to eliminate these traditional moral distinctions. Instead the student’s “choice” is given the supreme moral authority and the goal of these curriculums is to merely aid in the “safest” expression of the child’s choice.
This follows the vision set forth by Dr. Mary Calderone, former medical director of Planned Parenthood, first president of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the US (SIECUS) and the architect of modern sex education, when she wrote:
A new stage of evolution is breaking across the horizon and the task of educators is to prepare children to step into that new world. To do this, they must pry children away from old views and values, especially from biblical and other traditional forms of sexual morality - for religious laws or rules about sex were made on the basis of ignorance. (Calderone & Johnson, The Family Book About Sexuality, 1981)
However, more and more modern sex education programs are becoming nothing more than publicly funded platforms for legitimizing homosexuality and other deviant and unsafe behaviors—pro-homosexual propaganda presented under the guise of “tolerance” and “diversity.”
As Olivia St. John writing for WorldNetDaily.com points out, “Thanks to public apathy and the efforts of misguided state and federal lawmakers, activist judges and liberal teachers unions, our nation's schools have become the new red-light district of the 21st century.”
St John offers for example, “Gay-Straight Alliances, or GSAs, serve as illicit sex breeding grounds in more than 3,000 public schools across America. The GSA Network News links students to socials, seminars, conferences and other events enabling adult homosexuals to develop relationships with young people. A recent announcement seeks ‘queer youth models’ who are males age 15-18 ‘or look under 18.’ Still another invites young people to a free movie screening described as being a ‘sexy, sensory treat.’ October's news featured a free ‘Queer Girl Retreat’ for females ages 24 and younger for ‘two days of radical queer education about community, bodies and pleasure.”
According to St. John, “GSA activists within public schools have inserted obscene material … into both libraries and classroom discussions. Considered ‘sexual literacy,’ assigned books explore sexual perversions, including teen sex with adults. One book titled The God Box questions the ‘interpretation’ of Biblical passages on homosexuality.”
More recently, the Gay-Straight Alliance Network has begun promoting transgender issues on middle and high school campuses. The GSA Network News detailed how a GSA club at Sierra High School in California recently completed its “newest event” – a Transgender Day of Remembrance.
In Fresno, a GSA club member at McLane High School and a former club member planned a community-wide Transgender Day of Remembrance at Café Fresno, which featured “open mic, poetry readings, music and general youth fellowship.” In support of the Transgender Day of Remembrance, the GSA Network News offered the following encouragement to students, “Now, is the time to push your school and community ‘beyond the binary’ and focus on not only fighting homophobia on your campus, but also fighting transphobia.” Continue »
