Common themes that run throughout the alarming stories presented
below:
- Parents were not notified.
- Concerned Parents were ignored, until it hits the press.
- Venture High and Elwood Middle schools have been doing the surveys
for several years.
- School principals defend their actions and plan to continue unless
forced to stop.
- Sex is special area of focus by school administrations from K
through 12.
Parents, do you really need your government schools teaching sex
to your kids?
I have a thought; teach the kids
reading, writing and arithmetic. Leave sex and the social issues to mom
and dad. Perhaps, then we will see an increase in SAT scores and a
decrease in STI stats.
Before schools started in on
state sponsored Sex Education for school children, US kids were:
- Happier
~
More Youth Depressed Now than During Great Depression
- Less Pregnant ~ Incredibly
Disappointing US Teen Pregnancy Rates on the Rise
- Less Diseased ~ Study:
Half of Teen Girls Infected w/ STDs w/in 2 yrs of Having Sex
- Better Educated ~ Stossel:
Are American Kids Stupid?
Ventura
High sex survey draws ire of parents
“The
principal has spent a great deal of time meeting with this particular
parent and talking about how we can ensure that students rights are not
violated, because we have to follow the journalistic standards for our
students and their freedom of speech,” Arriaga said. “At the same
time, we want to make sure parents are well-informed and we have
certainly worked with the parents in that regard and will continue to
do so.”
Parent Julie Wilson, however, said “this isn’t about
freedom of the press.”
“The real area of concern to us was the
totality of this, including pages of sex articles, a sex crossword
puzzle and other inappropriate things that suggest that some of their
peers sitting in the classroom are sexually active,” Wilson said
Tuesday. “It might lead them to think, ‘Am I the only one not having
sex?’ ”
Elwood
Middle School Parent Angered over School-Sponsored Matchmaking Survey
Parent
Michelle Everett says her 11-year-daughter recently brought home a
survey from school. The survey is a fundraising tool used by the school
corporation for the middle school drama club. Students pay a buck or
two each and a computer matches compatible boys and girls in grades six
through 10. The more they pay the more matches are found.
"I
don't believe that at 11 years old a school should be promoting opposite
sex matching," said Everett. "A tenth grader matched with a sixth
grader? And the school promoting it and it's inappropriate."
What's
more upsetting to Everett is that she found the survey in her
daughter's book bag without a parental consent note like most school
fundraising campaigns.
"When I started to read it and it said a
list of the members of the opposite sex that are the most compatible for
you, that you can buy the list. I thought ‘red flags, red flags’,"
said Everett.
But despite that, the superintendent calls the
survey a harmless, non-invasive fundraiser and that they've been doing
for the past 15 years.
Even
more Angered Parents over Sex Tape Shown to Elementary Students In the
Name of Education:
A mother has taken her
seven-year-old daughter out of school after she was made to watch a
cartoon showing a couple chasing each other around a bed and having
sex.
Seven and eight-year-old pupils watched the controversial
Channel 4 sex education DVD, Living and Growing, at their village
primary school.
A voice-over on the DVD describes the sex as
'exciting'.
Sex ed in our schools is a
tool of Progressives to further undermine the long standing
Judeo/Christian family-centered values of our culture.
