I have a good imagination. But imagining the ugly, savage,
creepy, disgusting—I don’t spend a lot of time doing that.
So I didn’t imagine that things would get so bad so soon.

Let me share the easier bad news first. This is from schools
in Washington State, where we lived when my kids started school. The Washington
Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has put out a new set of
Health and Physical Education Standards. They begin their 126-page document with this reassurance:
The 2016 Health and Physical Education K-12 Learning
Standards were developed collaboratively with teachers, administrators, subject
matter experts, state and national association, and stakeholders in health and
physical education. Teams of Washington state health and physical education
teachers started working on drafts in September 2014 with the aim to develop
the most comprehensive, relevant, medically-accurate, and inclusive set of
health and physical education learning standards for our state.
That is to reassure you parents, who were NOT consulted and
were excluded from the process, don’t worry; experts are in charge.
Here’s what the experts are planning for Washington children:
·
Beginning in Kindergarten, students will
be taught about the many ways to express gender. Gender expression
education will include information about the manifestations of traits
that are typically associated with one gender. Crossdressing is one form of
gender expression.
·
Third graders will be introduced to
the concept of gender identity. These children will be taught that they
can choose their own gender.
·
Fourth graders will be expected to
“define sexual orientation,” which refers to whether a person identifies as
heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual; they’ll also be taught about HIV
prevention. Children in fourth grade will be told that they can choose
their sexual orientation.
·
Fourth and fifth graders will learn
about the relativity of gender roles and why such roles are social constructs
that are not inherent to who we are as male or female human beings.
·
Seventh graders will be expected to
“distinguish between biological sex, gender identity, gender expression, and
sexual orientation.”
·
High school students will critically
“evaluate how culture, media, society, and other people influence our
perceptions of gender roles, sexuality, relationships, and sexual orientation.”
In case you, as a parent, are confused about terms, they
provide a glossary. [The definitions below were reported by The Daily Caller, but the link to the glossary was no longer available.]
Gender: “A social
construct based on emotional, behavioral, and cultural characteristics attached
to a person’s assigned biological sex.”
Gender expression: “The
way someone outwardly expresses their gender.”
Gender identity: “Someone’s
inner sense of their gender.”
So, kindergarteners will be told they don’t know what “boys”
and “girls” are, that it’s up in the air, and they ought to go ahead and try
out being something they are not, or invent something that is neither boy nor girl and be that.
And fourth graders, who are still in the stage where the
opposite sex has cooties, are being told that they might be homosexual if they
do not feel attracted to the opposite sex.
Parents are, of course, outraged. Back when we had children in Washington schools, I met personally with the
health teacher to go over the curriculum and verify that it met my standards,
and that she shared my values. I could have opted out if I had not felt
comfortable.
Parents worry that is no longer the case; the LGBTQ agenda
is being incorporated fully into the entire health education curriculum. So it’s
not a matter of sending a child to the library during the teaching of a
particular lesson. It will be multiple days, in multiple ways, over multiple
years from K-12.
School board member John Torre claimed parents will be able
to opt out, “including the sexual orientation and gender identity lessons.” But
Torre also told the Washington Times, the proposed curriculum changes (put out in March, approved in May) have
nothing to do with the previous week’s vote to allow boys who identity as girls
to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. That’s just an unrelated coincidence.
Andrea Lafferty, president of Traditional Values Coalition,
one of several opponent groups, said, “They are not being forthright with the
information. They are not telling people the truth. They are bullying parents. They are
intimidating and they are threatening.”
Meanwhile Torre admits that he cannot provide either the
science behind the curriculum changes, or examples of lessons; those things
have not been written yet.
I might remind you that schools originally took on the role
of informing children about sex for the purported purpose of preventing
out-of-wedlock births. And I’ll repeat one of the Spherical Model maxims:
Whenever government attempts something beyond the proper role
of government (protection of life, liberty, and property), it causes unintended
consequences—usually exactly opposite to the stated goals of the interference.
There’s another, related piece of news that goes beyond what
I could imagine. It’s about Planned Parenthood, that bastion of savagery that
exists because of taxpayer dollars. I am going to have to quote from an
article, because I could not make this up, and I
fail to be able to put it in my own words:
Pro-life advocacy group Live Action released a second
investigative video on July 15 showing what Planned Parenthood “counselors”
teach minors in the name of “sex-ed”: sexual bondage and sadomasochism, and
steering them to sex stores to “get educated.” In the latest video, a Colorado
counselor told the Live Action investigator (posing as a minor) that “sexual
exploration is normal”—and went so far as to suggest defecating and urinating
on men as an option. Really. Only conservative media found the film worth
reporting….
According to the counselor, “sexual exploration” is “normal”
and “can be really fun.” For ideas to imitate, she referenced 50 Shades of Grey as well as porn. She
even offered some creative techniques of her own: “There are so many different
fetishes out there,” she stressed. “Like, some guys like for women to urinate
on them” or “pooping.”…
During a “Hannity” interview on July 15, [Live Action
President Lila] Rose, elaborated on Planned Parenthood: “Their interest is not
protecting these girls. Their interest is abortion and in pushing a sexual
ideology—a sexology—that's very destructive and dangerous on our teenagers.”
Obamacare provided this particular Planned Parenthood with
additional funding for educating teens. That means in schools. Rose encouraged parents to contact
their principles and school superintendents to find out what their school’s
relationship was with Planned Parenthood.

That is a good first step wherever you are in the country.
We think our schools are somewhat safe from such indoctrination here in Texas,
because we are vigilant. And yet the huge Houston Planned Parenthood office is
guilty of selling baby parts (another abomination I couldn’t have imagined
until proof was placed before us), but they were temporarily successful in getting
the reporters prosecuted, rather than the actual perpetrators. The reporters were eventually exonerated, but no real justice has been done yet.
I’ll say one more time, homeschooling is a lifestyle choice
worth looking into. If there is any way you can do it, your family will benefit—both
educationally and socially. If you are in an area where schools are already imposing
this savage, anti-family doctrine, you must
find a way out now.
