What is "comprehensive" sex
ed?
The annual
Minnesota School Health Education Conference last February 4th and 5th
was quite explicit in describing comprehensive sex ed. (See
The Bird
& Bees Project: Gay Sex Ed for
kids and
Gender Benders at Health Conference.)
The Minnesota School Health Education Conference is promoted by
Education Minnesota, the state teachers union. It is also sponsored by
Bemidji State University, Saint Cloud State University, Minnesota State
University-Mankato, and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, along
with three major textbook companies.
This
year's premier gathering of health educators in Minnesota was in
Bloomington. Conferees were given copies of the Educators Guide to
Reproductive Health with goals, objectives and classroom activities
based on guidelines from the Sexuality Information and Education Council
of the United States (SIECUS). SIECUS is a militant abortion and gay
rights advocate. SIECUS is also supporting Comp Sex Ed.
One
conference attendee noted that the educators guide should be called
"a how-to manual for teaching homosexual sex and a range of sexual
options to teens... now enshrined in comprehensive sex educationwith the
blessing of SIECUS." Abstinence, according to the guide, includes a
broad range of arousing behaviors, and students are encouraged to define
abstinence for themselves. When Comp Sex Ed (SF 588/ HF 615) requires
teaching an abstinence-first approach; this is what is meant.
Educators at the conference learned that gender no longer means male or
female, but rather, an identity of choice based on feelings and desires.
When Comp Sex Ed requires "medically accurate and objective"
information, this is what is meant.
The
conference promoted students developing "their own values apart
from their parents. There is no right or wrong," according to the
state conference, and "no good or bad choices. When Comp Sex Ed
requires teaching "individual responsibility," this is what is
meant.
THE GAG LAW
Comp Sex Ed also gags the free speech rights of teachers, which will
force them to be silent regarding anything negative against homosexuals
or that report religious beliefs against homosexuality. "Bias"
has been defined as anything critical -- anything not supportive. All
information about homosexuality, in other words, must be one-sided.
Accurate information on health, family, and emotional risks that
contradict homosexual promotional propaganda will be illegal in
Minnesota. The radicals do not believe in free speech.
Comp Sex
Ed forbids teaching or promoting "religious doctrine" against
homosexuals. What does this mean? It means that principles that teachers
may want to their students will be interpreted as "religious"
beliefs, and therefore illegal, such as: modesty is real, marriage
between a man and a woman is the ideal basis for sexual union, anything
concerning the real consequences of homosexuality, accurate information
about the impact of homosexuality on people's lives, etc. The effect
of the gag law is that only what homosexual advocates and the hard left
want to be heard will be legal. The radicals do not believe in free
speech.
