NEW LAW LETS PARENTS VETO SCHOOLS' SEX EDRequires officials to notify them of curriculum,
allow time to object, by Bob Unruh, 7/21/18, WND.
Its letter to the state department puts schools on notice, but Liberty Counsel also said it is urging “constituent parents” to give the information to their local districts.
The Liberty Counsel letter to the state, which was copied to superintendents
and principals, notes that if any of the material contains obscene matter and
appears to involve a person under 18, it is a Level 6 felony.
A new state law in Indiana
gives parents the right to veto an offensive sex education agenda adopted by
their local school district, and the legal team at Liberty Counsel has prepared
a sample letter for parents to take control of that facet of their children’s
educations.
It’s bad news for supporters
the sexually permissive curriculum of the Kinsey Institute, Planned Parenthood,
GLSEN, Gay Straight Alliance, SIECUS and many others.
Liberty Counsel said Tuesday
it is notifying all Indiana public schools about Public Law 154, “which
mandates at least two written requests for parental consent or non-consent
before any instruction in human sexuality may be given to children.”
In a letter to Jennifer
McCormick, the state’s superintendent of public instruction, the legal team
explained the new law became necessary because of the number of schools “seeking to skirt legislative
intent regarding human sexuality instruction.”
The state already had laws
regarding morals instruction, good citizenship instruction, hygiene and more. But
they weren’t comprehensive, prompting the new requirement that gives
parents the right to have “full, accurate descriptions of instructional
materials, and effective notice, so that they may exercise their right to non-consent
if they find the material objectionable.”
The prepared letter
allows parents to give specific notice to their schools that nothing from a
long list of sources is acceptable.
The
sources include: National Sexuality Education Standards, Future of Sex
Education Initiative, Sex Etc., Advocates for Youth, Answer, SIECUS, Planned
Parenthood, The Kinsey Institute, Indiana Youth Group, GLSEN and Gay Straight
Alliance.
Schools are not even
allowed to reference those groups when parents notify them of their objections.
Also, the letter states:
“I DO NOT CONSENT to my child being given instruction or information on, or
being subjected to discussion of any aspect of human sexuality, including the
following: abortion, birth control/contraceptives, sexual activity of any kind
whatsoever … sexual orientation … transgenderism, any referral of my child to a
counselor, medical professional, social worker, within or outside the school
for purposes of discussing sexuality… [or] any written material of; reference
to; or referral to an outside agency.”
The law allows parents
to request alternative academic instruction for that time period, and the form
allows a signature line.
“There can be no
scientific value in a curriculum containing false or misleading information, or
in curriculum derived from objectively false information,” the letter states,
warning that schools should want to avoid the complications schools in Virginia
and Arizona experienced.
In one case, Liberty
Counsel pointed out, schools were using material that was based on the child
“sex data” compiled by Alfred Kinsey, who recorded “child rape” in the infamous
“Table 34” of Kinsey’s “Sexuality in the Human Male.”
“The law is clear that
parents, not agents of the state like teachers, or outside radical groups, have
the right to direct the upbringing and associations of the parents’ own
children. The law presumes that parents possess what a child lacks in maturity,
experience, and capacity for judgment required for making life’s difficult
decisions, not school employees or activist agencies,” Liberty Counsel said.
Comments
The left will oppose
this. They will credit Sex Ed with the decline in teen pregnancies. Teen
pregnancy dropped from 40 births per 1000 to 20 births per 1000 from 2007 to
2015.
Single parent families
rose from 22.3 million to 24.4 million from 2007 to 2015.
Public schools will
also object, but should be able to modify their curriculum to review dangers
faced by children from crossing the street to avoiding strangers.
