PROTECT OUR CHILDREN
If anyone causes one of these
little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to
have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths
of the sea. Matthew 18:6
----------------------------------
Today’s blog is different than
any I have ever posted, but it is something I feel very strongly about. It is an issue we all need to realize is
spreading across this country and into every school and into the mind of every
child: Extreme Sex Education. More and more states are implementing sex
education beginning in kindergarten.
These children are receiving information too early. Information they are not mentally, emotionally,
or physically ready to understand. Information which will shape their future
sexuality. Information which contains illustrations
that would not be allowed on Facebook. Excerpts
from various articles are indented.
A good beginning article is The Super-Sexualization of Children: Time to Take Notice. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/what-your-child-needs-know-about-sex-and-when/201109/the-super-sexualization-children-time-take?fbclid=IwAR2BixLHhfGdm4KEojA8AqqeFth7NQ5C5iHC38K__YBKk_POaT7_fI0mMSY
So make no mistake
about it; your child will be exposed to an enormous amount of sex-related
content no matter how hard you try to shield them from it.
The biggest impact
however that the super-sexualization of children can have is its overall
looming effect on the day-to-day existence of kids. Sexuality becomes much more
of a player than it should, irrespective of the child's age. It's as if
children's normal curiosity towards sexuality gets ratcheted up a number of
notches as if on steroids.
If you (parents)
take it upon yourself to speak honestly, lovingly, and on a regular basis with
your child about the sexualized world around her, you will help her make sense
of it, help her to put it into an understandable context, and help her to
counter any potential negative consequences to all this exposure.
The problem is parents are no
longer the ones teaching their children about sex and when the parent believes
them to be emotionally, mentally, and physically ready to understand various
concepts. The schools are taking over
that role and beginning at a much younger age.
Sex education is no longer teaching girls about menstruation and boys
about puberty. It is teaching them
graphic sex.
EXAMPLE 1: Early Elementary Sex Education Curriculum (grades K-3)
This curriculum is aimed at early elementary students
(grades K-3) in the public school. It addresses developmentally appropriate
issues for children who have not yet reached puberty in six key concept areas:
human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual
health and society.
Day One:
Human Development
·
Begin with direct
instruction to help the children become comfortable with sexual terminology.
Provide dittoes of naked boys and girls with clearly labeled body parts, and
instruct them to "color the feet green" and "color the scrotum
orange."
·
Lead a concept
attainment lesson on body diversity. Help the children name
the ways in which our bodies can be different: color, shape, size, ability,
gender, age, etc. Provide pictures of many different body types (an excellent
cartoon-style drawing of body diversity can be found in It’s Perfectly
Normal by Robie Harris).
·
Provide hands-on,
realistic models of the male and female genitalia for children to touch, take
apart and examine. This may be some children’s only chance to see adult
genitalia up close before they become adults themselves, and it may help them
feel much more comfortable with themselves and others.
This is a lesson plan for grades
K-3. Provide hands-on, realistic models of the male and female
genitalia for children to touch, take apart and examine. This was written

EXAMPLE
2: Here Are The Details On California’s
Sex Education
AB-329 allows
for parents to opt their children out of sexual education. However, the
bill prohibits parents from opting their children out of materials that discuss
gender, gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation.
“They talk about mutual
masturbation,” he added. “They discuss
gender roles, the gender spectrum, and in the support materials … they take it
even further. They discuss everything, topics like roleplaying for different
genders, blood play, dental dams … fisting is mentioned. I mean, they mention
it all.”
There is a video, about half way
down this article, about California’s new sex plan. You have to register to see it because it has
some graphic pictures. Pictures which
are being shown to students.
EXAMPLE 3: NJ Schools Test New Mandatory LGBT Curriculum
for Math, History, Grammar
The curriculum will be mandatory across the state
beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, with no parental opt-out provision.
Last year, Gov. Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) signed a bill mandating this kind of
curriculum, making New Jersey the second state after California (2011) to do
so. Illinois followed later last year.
"The intent of the law is for material to be weaved
across subjects rather than taught as a stand-alone history lesson, said
advocates and legislators who supported it," the magazine reported.
In other words, not only will parents not be given the option to opt their kids
out of the program, but children will not necessarily be aware of the LGBT
lessons when they are taught.
This law violates the fundamental and constitutional
rights of parents to direct the moral and educational upbringing of their
children," the petition says. "It was written with no protections for
families – families cannot opt their child out of the content for any
reason, not even if they have religious or moral objections!
While it is important to acknowledge the Nazis'
oppression against gay people, many LGBT activists have sought to redefine
history in pursuit of their agenda. Some have claimed that the Bible figures of
King David and Jonathan were homosexual or bisexual, while others have insisted
that the Bible figures Deborah, King David, and the Apostle Paul were
"transgender" or "gender non-conforming." While many
historical figures did engage in homosexual activity — the ancient Greeks were
notorious for pederasty — the concepts of "lesbian," "gay,"
"bisexual," and "transgender" as identities are extremely
modern, and it would do violence to history to apply them anachronistically to
figures who never considered themselves that way.
This
last article is about mandatory LGBT curriculum, but it is included to show how
extensive the sex education, of our children, has become. It is included in classes such as math.
EXAMPLE 4: Sex Ed Book Seeks to Groom Children For Early
Onset Of Sex
Planned Parenthood is also
contributing to sex education in our schools:
The first chapter
of the book is titled “Can You Die from Masturbating Too Much?” Subsequent
chapters include “Do Guys Really Cum in Their Sleep?” and “Is Twelve Too Young
to Know I’m Bi?”
They justify their
actions by stating that they are simply answering the questions of curious
youth,” explained Cline, who left Planned Parenthood and ultimately founded her
own website and organization called It Takes a Family. Now, she urges
parents to “reclaim parenthood” and provides them with resources needed to
build up trust in family bonds.
“Hooking up?” asked
Planned Parenthood in a recent tweet. “Here are 12 ways to do it right.” The
tweet contains a link to a Teen Vogue article,
titled “How to Be an Ethical Hook-Up Partner,” which targets adolescents.
Despite the often-negative press, hookups, or, short term sexual/intimate
encounters, like one-night stands, summer flings, and semester-long friends-with-benefits
relationships, can come with a lot of descriptors: “casual,” “fun,” “random,”
and “spontaneous” can be some, but can they also be ethical, considerate, and
satisfying? We think yes!
There could be link after link
after link. Is this what we want for the
children in our local communities? In
our states? In our country? Do not think for one minute it will not be
taught in your local school. Taught to
your children or grandchildren. Unless
we speak up. Unless we stop this..it
will be mandated. Our schools will have
no option. Our teachers will have no
option. Parents will have no option.
My
concern – a concern we should all have – is that our children – of all genders
-- are being introduced to sexual content before they are emotionally,
mentally, or physically ready to understand.
No student in K-3 should be given realistic models of the male and female
genitalia for children to touch, take apart and examine. School children
should not be having condom relay races.
But if
we keep quiet … the model of a penis will be passed around the classroom. And condoms will be passed during a relay
race. And the innocence of our children
will be lost.
Find
your voice. Speak to school boards and
ALL elected officials. This must be
stopped.
Thank
you for reading to the end.
