Culture Challenge of the Week: Immoral Sex Indoctrination
Much of what is being taught to our young girls and boys in sex-education classes is too graphic and vulgar to be quoted in the newspaper.
For that, you can blame Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth, and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS). The content of sex-education programs is dominated by these groups, which instruct our children on how to perform sexual acts, including homosexuality and sadomasochism. Their materials promote a radical political agenda, are highly pornographic, encourage our children to be sexually active and are largely devoid of biological and medical information.
To fully grasp the problem, read Dr. Miriam Grossman's new book, "You're Teaching My Child What?" It is a shocking and maddening expose of how our children are being brainwashed by perverted and immoral sex propagandists.
Do I sound like an alarmist? Read the book, scan through your own child's sex-ed materials, and then let's talk. You'll probably become an "alarmist," too.
Here are just two of the hundreds of carefully documented facts from Dr. Grossman's book: When exposing Planned Parenthood's timetable of when kids should be taught what, she writes, "They instruct parents to tell 5-year-olds about intercourse, though explaining orgasm can wait until he's finished kindergarten." And for sadomasochism? Educators often send teen girls to a Web site that says, "Though it may seem painful, those involved find the pleasure outweighs the pain."
How To Save Your Family from Sex Instructors:
Let's be clear: If you have a child in public school, he or she will likely be subjected to pornographic, immoral and medically false sex instruction unless you intervene. If you do nothing, your child will be forced to sit at a desk while an authority figure and/or educational materials violate

“The goal isn’t to see unwanted pregnancies a thing of the past. It is to see everyone sexually active at every age and an end to all moral judgements over all sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).”
Bingo. Preparing to plagiarize that.
Well said, Mark!
And that’s the whole thing in a nutshell.
I have friends that are sending their daughter to Public High School this year. They are driving her to the district that the mom grew up in. About an hour north. It’s country up there and the poo that hits in our district does not flow in those schools. Like for sure, because she has friends who’s children go there. They are great kids!
It takes much more work to be a PS mom than a homeschooling mom. I know what my girls are getting. PS moms have to be involved in all aspects. You know Gabz, you do it.
And people think I have it tough!
Detroiters are educated to be line workers and pole dancers.
That’s why we homeschool.
Therefore:
ALL government schools in this nation are by law **godless** in their philosophic worldview. All subject matter is taught as though god does not exist. This has profoundly non-neutral religious consequences for the students and for the parents who must deal with these consequences when the children come home from school.
So....Yes, I am very much against government schooling because it is **impossible** for government schools to be religiously, politically, or culturally neutral. The government **forces** the taxpayer to pay for a religious worldview that is abhorrent to many. For those who can not afford the extra cost of private or home schooling, the government forces attendance in it religiously non-neutral and atheistic institutions. However... if the government were to sponsor schools with a God-centered worldview, that, as well, would be abhorrent to many and have just as many non-neutral religious consequences.
Yes, I strongly object to government K-12 schools because they are a First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination!
Also...I am not convinced that very much learning happens in a typical institutional school. When I ask people who have academically successful children what their home lives are like, these parents and children are doing **everything** I did, and my children did, as homeschoolers. I conclude that most of what a child learns happens in the home through the efforts of his parents and the child himself. I conclude that the only thing the typical institutional school does is send home a curriculum for the parents and child to follow.

The result? By the time they got to high school I barely glanced at anything school related, but they would share with me what they saw happening, and would share how they stood up for what they believed. Now that they are at college, there is nothing I can do, other than listen. But the same things that happened in high school now happen on a bigger scale - professors that mock the Bible, professors that mock creationism, professors that push books that are of questionable literary value, but are more titillating. Because they had a small taste of how to stand up to this type of bullying in high school and knew that their parents had their backs when they were called on to defend their beliefs, they are very comfortable now getting right back in a professors face when something they love is attacked.
But that's my experience, your mileage may vary. But they will tell you it was their rooting in their church that they call upon when times get hard and the practice they had defending their Christianity when they were 12, 16, and 18 that makes them strong now.
Thanks, my FRiend.
But I disagree. I applaud my homeschooling friends. I truly do, because I couldn’t do what you do, which is why I don’t. I know my limitations.
If I lived in Detroit, I would either homeschool or private school. My kids would never step through the door of a school I felt was dangerous
I really don’t give a flying flip what you conclude. I disagree with you.
You have an opinion, something we all have, and you choose to utilize your opinion to attack others who disagree with you. You are no better than those attacking people who are questioning their congresscritters.
When you start answering direct questions posed to you, your opinion will be considered. Until such time, you will remain in the ranks of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
But getting back to the premise of the article, I think it's pretty good information and a reminder to parents who aren't as sharp as many here to just LOOK at the information that is readily available.
Example — in the middle school in which I teach, the FLE materials, every lesson plan, every homework assignment, every topic for class discussion all organized by days, is available for parents to review for 8 weeks before FLE is taught. It is out during school hours, during parent teacher conferences and if the parent can't make one of those times, the principal will stay late if the parent needs to by in the evening or on weekends. There is a reminder in the weekly newsletter and on the school website. Parents can come in with a school provided form and actually check off the days they don't want their kids to be in FLE. Simple as that - preview, check off the days, and voila! It happens the way the parents want it to.
Guess how many parents come in each year? About 5 - out of 700 kids.
So when this type of arrangements are made, whose fault is it if the kid is taught something the parent doesn't want taught?
I agree. It is harder to institutionalize a child than to homeschool. Having had my children in government school and in homeschool, this was my experience.
I find the actual home study habits of academically successful institutionalized children and successful homeschoolers to be nearly identical. There is little difference between the two as to what is actually happening **academically** in the home. There are differences, though. Whereas the parent of an institutionalized child must “reprogram” as necessary,( and be vigilant about course material, friends, teachers, and other school employees) the homeschooling parent has far fewer of these worries and concerns. With regard to these issues, it is actually more work to institutionalize a child than to homeschool.
Also...Homeschooling is far more efficient, so the homeschooling child as more time for independent creativity, development of talents, and for unstructured large-muscle play.
As Softballmom pointed out much of the work is “front loaded”. As the children mature both the academically successful institutionalized child and the homeschool child become independent of the parent.
By the way, I like that expression “front loaded”. It is like a rocket on a lauching pad. A tremendous amount of energy is expended with lots of smoke and flames. The rocket seems to sit on the pad doing nothing, and then, suddenly, seems to take off on its own. Unfortunately, the parent of the institutionalized child is constantly busy with trajectory corrections. The homeschooling parent can get their child aimed properly from the beginning.
By the way, Softballmom, the above is respectful, and in the past administrators have stated that on a public forum all posters should expect **respectful** posts from all participants.
You have an opinion, something we all have, and you choose to utilize your opinion to attack others who disagree with you.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Please provide an example of how I may have “attacked” you.
“Yes, it is biased crap in the sense that the haters of public schools at FR will claim this is the norm at ALL public schools.”
This story was not biased and your statement was out of line and shows your bias.
The public school system is broken. yes there are parts of it that still work but the system is controlled by the NEA. The NEA has an obvious agenda and is working towards that with great success.
Your attacks are either out of ignorance, or more likely personal fear for the impact homeschooling is having upon the public schools. As a group homeschoolers show just how broken the public school system is.
We can throw money at public schools all day long and it wont fix the problems. The problem is the NEA and the focus on indoctrination instead of teaching.
I thought the article was terribly biased against public schools. The author takes the experiences that of one district and extrapolates it to the whole.
Just because kindergartners are taught about intercourse in one district in NY or in CA (and who knows what goes in San Francisco) doesn’t mean it happens in every public school in the country.
There is value in the article in that it reminds parents to review materials and make sure they are in line with the student’s personal beliefs - but largely it is nothing more than a scare tactic.
You may be the exception to the rule of the PS haters, but all I ever hear from them is how I am a child abusers.
PS haters are in the same category to me as people who hate smokers, drinkers, and gun owners.
....not to mention, did anyone catch the real purpose of the article? To sell a book that you can use to check the curriculum!
When there is a direct financial incentive, the bias is a bit more obvious
At times I doubt whether a few hours of classroom instruction every few years can have much effect one way or another, especially compared to the influence of music, internet and TV. But I also suspect co-ed sex ed helped destroy the natural modesty and embarrassment young adults should feel before members of the opposite sex.
I also suspect the whole abstinence ed thing is just another way for "conservatives" to get on the gravy train of curriculum writing and think-tank funding. Something like 25 percent of Americans don't think sex ed should be in schools at all, it'd be nice to see their opinions prominently considered sometime.
The biggest surprise I had when we started homeschooling was the number of ex-teachers that home school their kids.
You can really never make generalizations, however the public school system is broke. As a whole the standards are the decline as are the graduation rates. Sure there are examples of good schools but the NEA will probably fix those soon.
Note I didn’t say the teachers are the problem, by and large they are not. Its the bureaucracy and the union that is the problem.
