Sex education curricula, often disguised under the deceptive title “family life,” are making their appearance in public schools all across the country this fall. Here is a checklist by which you can evaluate the curriculum proposed in your school system.
1. Does it omit all references to moral standards of right and wrong, thereby teaching only animal-level sex?
2. Does it urge boys and girls to seek help from or consult only or primarily public agencies rather than their parents or religious advisers?
3. Does it require instruction and discussion to take place in sex-integrated (coed) classes rather than separate classes for boys and girls? (The answer to this question is always yes in public schools because federal law prohibits separating boys and girls.)
4, Does it require boys and girls to discuss private parts and sexual behavior openly in the classroom, with explicit vocabulary, thereby destroying their natural modesty, privacy, and psychological defenses (especially of the girls) against immoral sex?
5. Does it omit mentioning chastity as a method (the only absolute method) of preventing teenage pregnancies and VD?
6. Does it omit mentioning chastity and marital fidelity as a method (the only absolute method) of avoiding VD?
7. Does it assume that all boys and girls are engaging in immoral sex, thereby encouraging them to accept promiscuous sexual acts as normal?
8. Does it omit mention of the spiritual, psychological, emotional, and physical benefits of premarital chastity, marital fidelity, and traditional family life?
9. Does it omit mention of the spiritual, psychological, emotional, and physical penalties and risks of fornication, adultery and promiscuity?
10. Does it require boys and girls to engage in role playing (pretending one is pregnant, pretending one has to admit having VD, pretending to use various types of contraceptives), thereby encouraging peer pressure to be exerted on the side of fornication rather than chastity?
11. Does it fail to stress marriage as the most moral, most fulfilling, and/or most socially acceptable method of enjoying sexual activity?
12. Does it encourage boys and girls not to tell their parents about the sex-ed curriculum, or about their sexual behavior or problems?
13. Does it present abortion as an acceptable method of birth control?
14. Does it use materials and references from the pro-abortion Planned Parenthood?
15. Does it present homosexual behavior as normal and acceptable?
16. Does it omit mention of the incurable types of VD which today affect millions of Americans? Does it falsely imply that all VD can be cured by treatment?
17. Does it give respectability to VD by listing famous people who had it?
18. Does it use a vocabulary which disguises immorality? For example, “sexually active” to mean fornication, “sexual partners” to mean sex in or out of marriage, “fetus” to mean baby, “termination of pregnancy” to mean killing a preborn baby.
19. Does it require boys and girls to draw or trace on paper intimate parts of the male and female bodies?
20. Does it ask unnecessary questions which cause boys and girls to doubt their parents’ religious and social values (“Is there a need for a wedding ceremony, religious or civil?”)?
21. Does it force advanced concepts and vocabulary upon five to eight year old children too young to understand or be interested? (For example, selection of mate, Caesarian, pregnancy prevention, population control, ovulation, VD, sperm, ovum.)
22. Does it constantly propagandize for limiting the size of families by teaching that having more children means that each one receives fewer economic benefits?
23. Can the sex-ed curriculum reasonably be described as a “how to do it” course in sexual acts (instruction which obviously encourages individual experimentation)?
Find out what sex education curriculum is being taught or proposed in your school district. Read it and apply the above questions. If the answer is yes to many of these questions, don’t be surprised if teenage pregnancies and VD are epidemic.
