SEX ED: PARENTS WANT TO SIT IN ON CLASSES
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
"’Some of the providers of the resource materials are groups that advocate sexual practices and lifestyles that some parents may not want their children to take part in a discussion over,’ said Michelle Turner, president of Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum (CRC).
Then let the parents sit in on the sex education classes in Montgomery County, Maryland, Public Schools. That’s all they’re asking for.
There are mothers and fathers who bottom-line don’t trust the curriculum nor the teachers of that curriculum.
There’s been much discussion regarding the new course; therefore, since suspicion is high, why not let parents of children sit in on the instruction?
"The curriculum, which was slightly revised last month, defines one's sexual identity as including gender identity, which is ‘a person's internal sense of knowing whether he or she is male or female.’
"The instruction also includes the statement that ‘most experts in the field have concluded that sexual orientation is not a choice,’" according to Jon Ward of The Washington Times.
The school’s policy statement sets forth the opportunity for parents to sit in on classes. It reads: "Classroom visits and conferences by parents and other persons in the school community are encouraged."
But not when it comes to the new sex education course.
Parents are off limits on that one. School authorities say that parents’ presence could make it uncomfortable for all in the room. That very could be. And it might not have come to this angst if the curriculum from the very beginning had not had a liberal base to it.
But with the question about what indeed is going to be taught surfacing from the outset, it’s time for parents to walk right into the classrooms to listen to every word coming forth from every instructor in sex education classes.
Morally based individuals have lived through enough hoodwinking. They’ve had enough of liberal education in America to have their guards up — and rightly so. They’ve been foisted with some of the most outlandishly immoral curricula that it’s time parents attuned to proper rearing of their offspring spring into big time action and not let up. This is one of those times.
To claim that they are alarmists or troublemakers is illogical and unkind to parents of that school system. They are reasonably wary and want to be a part of the action, from start to the finish.
I know from teaching in the public schools what can go on in the name of "education" when it’s not morally appropriate. For instance, I was co-teaching with a woman who brought to an alternative learning class a movie. It was replete with expletives and references to immoral sex. One of the scenes actually had a mockup of a talk show host with his sidekick. The two were chatting about masturbation.
When the movie was over, the teacher having been intent on letting it play to its conclusion, I asked her how she had the right to show such a movie to at-risk youth in particular. She said, "They have their choices."
What did that mean? I knew what that meant. I had taught with that person for too long not to know what that meant. That meant that she had rented a movie that was not up to par for anyone, let alone students in a public school. However, she was too lazy to turn the movie off and admit that she brought to class that was not morally appropriate. She was content with immoral rot to spew forth across a classroom into adolescent ears and heads for she was content to sit tight in her teacher’s chair, not moving a muscle.
That was not the only instance regarding that teacher. At an alternative learning school in particular, it’s imperative that instructors constantly help guide students in their decision making. This teacher took the direct opposite approach. Since the pupils are already troubled, just let their troubled state be "the reason" for letting their choices run amuck for there was not that much that a school could do to change anything in their confused lives anyhow, hence the R-rated movie set loose for an hour and half.
With that, I especially know that parents must be up to the minute in anything — I mean anything — going on in public schools today. Another example: There are Muslim instructors mentoring public school teachers about Islam, making it out to be a religion of peace. That has eventuated in a high school near me opening up a prayer room for Muslim students to frequent during the school day.
Is it not time for parents in Montgomery County to sit in on every sex education class where their children sit? I should say so. Every class. Every word. Every teacher scrutinized. Every curriculum piece examined front and back.
"Parents who are concerned about the new curriculum because they think it favors a homosexual agenda and encourages promiscuity said keeping them out of the classroom when the new sex-ed curriculum is being taught is ‘a big mistake.’
"In November, the county school board voted unanimously to approve a tryout of the new curriculum in three high schools and three middle schools.
"The curriculum, which was slightly revised last month, defines one's sexual identity as including gender identity, which is ‘a person's internal sense of knowing whether he or she is male or female.’ The instruction also includes the statement that ‘most experts in the field have concluded that sexual orientation is not a choice.’
"Also, households with same-sex parents are identified as one type of nine families. Next to that listing, a new phrase has been inserted as instruction to teachers -- not students. It reads in parentheses: ‘This should not be interpreted as same-sex marriage.’
If children are not comfortable with their own parents in the instruction, then Mrs. Turner suggests that their own parents not sit in on their classes. However, she posits that other parents should be permitted to sit in in their place.
"’A child might not feel comfortable, particularly in discussion, if their parent is sitting right there,’ she said. ‘They don't necessarily need to be in their child's classroom.’
"Mrs. Turner, who has attended each of the parent information nights along with other CRC members, said the parent nights have been helpful, but not sufficient. Teachers are ‘not providing the resource materials for parents to review,’ she said. In addition, parents were not allowed to take curriculum copies home.
"’Some of the providers of the resource materials are groups that advocate sexual practices and lifestyles that some parents may not want their children to take part in a discussion over,’ Mrs. Turner said."
As morally based Americans know, liberals don’t give up. They harass quietly, speak smoothly, smile constantly, and then proceed with their agenda to undercut morals. It goes on all the time.
Therefore, there is no loophole that parents in any school system can afford to leave open for liberals’ climb-through. Wherever there is the slightest opening, liberals will find a way to wedge through.
