Does “sex education” in the public schools mean having an employee of the local abortion clinic conduct a class for 15-year-olds and peddle its commercial services? That’s the shocking news the public learned on a recent MacNeil-Lehrer TV report.
This issue first came out in the open in January at a public meeting in Asheville, NC, where parents aired their complaints about violations of parents’ and pupils’ rights in the local public schools.
Hershel Ted Anderson of Candler, NC, the father of three boys in the public schools, requested and received permission from the principal of Enka High School to attend the 10th grade Biology class when “sex education” was taught. He, his wife, and three friends audited the class on October 23, 1984, and here are excerpts from his written report.
“The Western Carolina Abortion Clinic was giving the instructions. The women started their salesmanship. They were after the children’s business. The class was mixed boys and girls. All kinds of contraceptives were opened up and put on display, along with the prices of each. All were passed around the classroom…
“Right away, the home was forgotten. All authority of parents was dismembered. The child became a business customer for the abortion clinic. All business to these clinics would be held highly confidential; not even a court order could reveal their business relationship between the child and the abortion clinic.
“The young kids were told that abortions were a means of birth control. The class picked up and went over all female birth control devices, which was very offensive to the class. The abortion clinic gave their price of services, the days and hours they are open for business, and transportation would even be furnished if needed.
“The woman speaking regarded the home as non-existent. Father and mother were dead, as far as respect to us. I feel the teaching is directed to oppress the youth of our age into suicide, no hope, no reason to retain their virtue. Once the virtue is gone, the emptiness is present. These kids were treated as harlots, prostitutes, and whores in the way this abortion clinic treated the audience. They assumed all kids were fornicators…
The male condom was presented to the class, passed around to all present.
“I still cannot believe what I saw at Enka High School. What a shame to any state or nation. The Assistant Principal stated after the class that she felt this was a good class for the kids. The teacher of the Biology class stated that he did not represent the child’s home or parents; he only represented the child…”
Dr. Ralph Sexton, Sr., attended the sex education class on October 24, 1984. In his written statement, he told how stunned he was “to sit in that class and hear sex discussed and contraceptives displayed with what appeared, to me, to be with only one thing in mind — ‘Young people, go ahead and have sex, but here is how to keep from getting pregnant and if you do, come by and we will abort it for a price.’
“There was not one mention of God, home, husband and wife, and keeping themselves until marriage and home. The young people were told about their ‘sex-partners’ and how to use their contraceptives, etc.”
The parents who audited these “biology” classes took copious notes and presented a transcript at the public meeting. The abortion clinic employee gave the class a detailed explanation of how to use every kind of contraceptive and described its percentage of effectiveness. Then she quoted her clinic’s prices for abortions.
After reading through this transcript, it is easy to see why “sex education” classes cause teenage pregnancies and abortions. Most teenagers who sit through these tedious and complex descriptions would conclude: (a) it’s normal to engage in sex with any “sex-partner” you want, (b) contraceptives are a hassle, have unpleasant side effects, and don’t provide 100% protection anyway, so (c) don’t bother with contraceptives; it’s so easy to have an abortion and you’re guaranteed that your parents will never know.
The $600,000,000-a-year abortion business is using the public schools, financed by the taxpayers, to conduct its sales meetings and recruit its customers. “Sex education” classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions.
And if parents object, a well-organized smear brigade moves in to denounce them as “censors,” “right-wingers,” “fundamentalists who don’t want their children to take ‘biology,'” and “red-necked enemies of public schools.” What a racket!
