Sex Education By Stealth

By Dorothy Ireton

Stimulate Their Minds - Not Their Loins

 

The project to implement sex-ed in the schools could be divided into three parts.

First was the curriculum with the resource materials (the films, transparencies, booklets, etc.).

Second was the process used to prepare teachers to teach this stuff and to eliminate those who just could not be programmed to do so.  It is a process of brainwashing, desensitization and indoctrination. 

Third was the strategy and methods that were used to implement the agenda over and above the objections of the majority of parents.[1]  The first persons to object were usually called right wing extremists.  When these folks stood up and complained they were ridiculed and labeled.  This threw the majority off balance.  The other parents, not wanting that to happen to them, became silent.  Those parents who sensed the danger wound up leaving the public schools for the Catholic, Christian, and Private schools or home schooled their children.  The cream was now skimmed off the top and the schools were left with students whose parents would allow the schools to do anything with their children.

Also, around this time there was a lot of denial going on.  All the schools had to do was to throw the parents a few bones; remove a book here and eliminate the programs in the lower grades there, and the parents were placated.  The parents were highly motivated to be placated as there were serious consequences to admitting to themselves that the programs were bad and potentially very harmful to their children.  They would have to make other arrangements to educate their children, which would be costly and/or time consuming, like private schools or home schooling.  The parents were highly motivated to go along.

This was a well thought out scheme by Planned Parenthood and others of their ilk and took decades to implement at great cost to the taxpayers, because most of this was done with government grants and other foundation grant money.  It has been a huge success as the terrible statistics of abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, and suicides among our youth will attest.

Sad to say the evil forces that planned all of this were not about to allow an obvious escape and soon infiltrated the Catholic schools with their programs as well.  With the help of well placed moles in the Chancery buildings, many dioceses though out the country have mandated the Benziger, Family Life Education Program; Brown’s New Creation and now the bishops have even gotten into the act with their own program Growing in Love.  Why let the book companies make all the money?

There were three waves of the assault on the schools.  The first, 35-40 years ago, was to get the programs into the high schools.  While it was always called Comprehensive K-12 Sex-ed, the promoters were just happy to get into the high schools.

Parents were relieved when they were told in the early 70’s that nothing would be done in the elementary or junior high schools and that the school boards would carefully monitor what was done in the high school classes.  But, since when did school boards ever know what was going on in the classrooms? 

Having completed the D-Day Invasion, the perpetrators now went underground to prepare for the second wave of the assault.  This occurred in the early 80’s and while they spoke of Comprehensive Sex-ed, the real focus was on the middle schools. Since most high schools now had sex-ed programs, which were accepted, they needed to move on to the junior high school students.  Meanwhile, the same thing was going on in the Catholic schools. 

We are now witnessing the third wave of the assault. It is aimed at our youngest children, the 5 to 8 year-olds.  The programs foisted upon these innocents contain much homosexual information in them and masquerade it as “tolerance education”.

Needless to say the homosexual community are more than willing to provide people to teach these programs, normalizing their own image while changing the mores and morals of the young.  In the 80’s I was informed that there was a lesbian teaching at the local public high school and I said, “Let me guess, she teaches health class.”     She did.

In the Catholic schools it is hidden in the bishop’s own Safe Environment programs, where they teach 5 year olds the proper names of body parts and that no one should be touching them.  Sounds fine on the surface, but this is not appropriate material for 5 year-olds in a classroom setting.  Their innocence IS their protection.

These Sex-Ed curriculums certainly violate the Vatican document Truth and Meaning in Human Sexuality and grossly violate the rights of parents.  The high school programs are a premature seduction of the adolescent and the elementary school programs destroy the innocence of the children. 

There will be much to answer for on Judgment Day!
