Sex Education Opt Out for Students

On May 28, the Illinois House of Representatives passed the highly controversial “comprehensive” sex education bill (SB 818) over the objections of numerous parents, educators, and representatives. The Illinois Senate passed this proposal back on May 20th. For more information on the deeply troubling nature of Comprehensive Sexuality Education, we highly encourage you to watch the documentary, available HERE. SB 818 is the most recent in a string of legislative efforts to sexualize public education, while removing parents and school boards from the decision-making process.

School boards are the intended leaders of public education. Elected by parents in the community, their role is to direct the education process at a local level. As it is designed, this system gives parents a voice in the educational environment of their children as they elect school board members who will lead in a direction their community supports. By circumventing school boards with sweeping mandates, Illinois legislators have claimed an authority that should not be theirs. Parents, the boundary lines around your right to parent your children are relentlessly under attack!

Many parents who have watched this process unfold are feeling helpless. We want you to know your voice still matters and there is something you can do about it. SB 818 includes an “opt-out” clause.

SB 818 includes an “opt-out” clause.

“No student shall be required to take or participate in any class or course in comprehensive personal health and safety and comprehensive sexual health education. A student’s parent or guardian may opt the student out of comprehensive personal health and safety and comprehensive sexual health education by submitting the request in writing. Refusal to take or participate in such a course or program may not be a reason for disciplinary action, academic penalty, suspension, or expulsion or any other sanction of a student.”

Parents Rights in Education is a grass-roots coalition that “stand for the fundamental right of parents to raise their children, and firmly believe children belong to their families, NOT the state, the teachers, the teachers’ union, or any other bureaucrat.”

On our website, you will find an opt-out form you can download with instructions for how it must be completed and submitted. It includes not only Comprehensive Sexuality Education, but also mental health screenings/education, school-administered immunizations, STD/STI education, and Critical Race Theory programming. You are able to opt-out of any combination of the topics listed on the form.

I need some sex ed.....

[Bikkuri]

It used to be that you had to get the parent’s signed permission to GO to these classes..

[Telepathic Intruder]

Gay porn, crossdressing tips, and Satanism. Under consideration for future curriculums: bestiality, the joy of incest, and more Satanism.

Should go 1 step further ...an “opt-in” clause..

Make sure parents are in charge of kids education

[metmom]

They can opt out permanently.

Homeschool.

Until they found out nobody was signing their kids up.

So instead, they make all the kids take it and you have to opt out instead. They count on the fact that parents don’t know they can opt out or just couldn’t be bothered with doing it.

Sexualizing public education, while removing parents and school boards from the decision-making process, has been ongoing for years. The difference now is every beastly form of sexual behavior is being forced on youngsters...because these perverts sexually desire our children.

[Bikkuri]

It’s terrifying to think of the future (these kids are our future politicians; it’s bad enough with the millennials and GenZ).

Should go 1 step further ...an “opt-in” clause..

That is the clause that is despised by schools in general. They know it actually limits participation, and is a paperwork nightmare for the schools. “opt-in” is the right way to do it.

[wita]

Bingo, and for those parents who can’t or won’t HS, opt-in is the way to keep them involved, which is why schools in general hate the opt-in method. Over a period of years, School Boards have become rubber stamps for the Schools and Superintendent.

“They can opt out permanently...Homeschool.”

LOL, good one! They won’t opt out, as it means giving up the big house or the boat, for most people, which is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than protecting their kids.

...but nice try!

[mewzilla]

They’ve all become a rubber stamp for teachers unions and Deep State.

public ed are factories run by government agendas

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

It’s not sex ed in many cases, it’s grooming of children for sex.

[oldtech]

Seems the best bet on these proposals would be opting out for everyone BUT the parents & school boards who should have the say on these things. State & federal should completely stay out of this.
