While the debate rages on as to whether or not schools should reopen, parents might want to ask themselves what exactly are they waiting to send their children back to. For example, in California, education officials have agreed on a comprehensive new framework for sex education in the classroom.
Since the 1970s, sex education has been widely supported in schools. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 24 states — including California — and the District of Columbia mandate sex education in classrooms. California also requires that sex and HIV education be “age-appropriate.” In addition, according to the California Healthy Youth Act, Californias schools must provide LGBTQ-inclusive comprehensive sexual health education. While parents are, for the time being, allowed to opt their children out of all or part of the comprehensive sexual health and HIV prevention instruction schools may not allow the selective opting out of lessons that are focused on LGBTQ content.

Columnist Katie Hopkins posted an excerpt from one approved book in California on Twitter just before the social media company permanently suspended her account.
This book called ‘SEX’ was originally on the California schools suggested reading list for kids 9-12th grade. After a massive public outcry, the book was removed. The fact that it was even deemed acceptable by those in charge of creating the reading list for California’s school children is what is most shocking and unacceptable.
This is just one book that became known how many others are being used to ver sexualize children who are much too young. Moreover, it is not the place of the public education system to educate children on sexuality.
One commenter on the site Reddit said:
This is no big thing in the west, Americans think this shit is normal, and in fact healthy. Their society is so perverted that they make academics about sex as well.
It is hard to argue with that sentiment as it seems each year we push the boundaries of decency further and further. Now we are reaching into our children’s learning space.
It appears to be a similar situation in Arizona. Writing for the Family Research Council, Tony Perkins article Parents Fight Back: Sex and Kindergarten in America notes that Arizona State Superintendent Kathy Hoffman (D) “Comprehensive Sex Education” curriculum includes teaching children about masturbation.
Hoffman took her oath, placing her hand a children’s book titled “Too Many Moose”. When asked about the unusual decision to be sworn on a children’s book she said “it had a lot of sentimental value”
This is one reason why many parents are deciding not to send their children back to the public when they do open and opting out of the public education system altogether. It is a tremendous burden for many, and some, it is impossible as they rely on the public school to be a safe place for their children during the day when they are at work.
Both Arizona and California, sex education programs focus on LGBTQ issues. Critics have argued that the curriculum goes beyond the stated purpose of teaching tolerance, and many believe it is indoctrination. When parents decide to be proactive and learn what is being taught, they find themselves in a living nightmare. There is little doubt that whatever the intended purpose of this new model of “Comprehensive Sex Education is, it is being delivered to children who are far too young.
Meanwhile, A Texas judge overruled a prior court decision that granted both James Younger’s parent’s equal say in deciding if the 8-year-old boy should transition to a girl. The judge’s ruling forces Jame’s father, who does not believe James wants to transition and is happy as a boy when he is with him to pay thousands of dollars in therapy fees without any say in who the therapist is.
