Planned Parenthood, etc. is in the details
Planned Parenthood aka 'family planning services' is the devil behind the details of comprehensive K-12 contraceptive sex-education ever since its inception in the 60's. Planned Parenthood's spawn is SIECUS, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the US. SIECUS designs permissive sex-ed curriculum and provides the materials, videos, books, etc. used in the kindergarten through 12th grade classrooms across the country. It's designed to sexualize our kids. By giving more and more explicit sexual information year after year, it gets our youth first accepting, then using birth control drugs, devices, condoms and abortion. It's all done under "amoral" programs with friendly sounding names...promoting healthy sexuality, self-esteem, reducing the risk, defining the family, decision making skills, etc. Many state laws are such that a school counselor or nurse can take a minor age girl to a "health" clinic or provide counseling without parents knowledge or permission. The parent or guardian will be refused in getting the information.
Recently we've learned that King Middle School in Maine, through it's on-location health clinic, is doling out birth control drugs to girls as young as 11 years old.
Here's a bit of history as to how that came to be. In 2002, Maine's state legislature enacted the law that defines and compels the schools to implement a certain contraceptive sex-education program. Maine's Education Commissioner brought in SIECUS Sexuality Education 2004 as the main provider of comprehensive sex education curriculum along with Family Planning Association of Maine. The system is totalitarian in nature and based entirely upon secular or atheist humanism.
Yes, abortion providers write and deliver the K-12th grade comprehensive sex-ed curriculum....all paid for by the good ol' taxpayers. They train teachers and hire nurses to implement it. The law calls for abstinence, and they say they teach abstinence, but it's only a token and always in the notion of stay abstinent to avoid pregnancy or STDs and until you are ready, and have contraception available. So as far as any abortion provider teaching abstinence, for all intents and purposes it's a complete farce. But just having it there, keeps unwary parents and school personnel and administrators happy.
It will be very eye opening if you research Humanist Manifesto I (1933),II (1973), III (2003) and the Declaration(1980) on the web. You will learn that secular/atheistic Humanism is the origin and foundation of the entire SIECUS Sexuality Education.
Quick Lesson:
The radical changes that transformed our culture and system of education based on Judeo/Christian ethics and morality into a Secular Humanist one started in Europe in the early 1930's.
Cultural and sexual reformers joined their ideas and a new philosophy of Humanism, atheistic and agnostic, was developed. They based their ideology on transfer of faith in God to faith in man, in science and in education. They wrote their basic tenets in the Humanist Manifestos I, II, III and in the Declaration. They had many people sign on to the Manifesto and signing on is still going on today. The Humanist's basic premise is that man can make a better world without God. For about 30 years, the Humanists couldn't get too far in the US because the Judeo-Christian ethic was too strong in public schools and in political life. It was after the "pill" was invented that they were able to push forward in the US and the sexual revolution was underway.
By the early 60's, Humanists had control of our public educational system from college professors, teachers, government agencies that provided funding and textbook publishers as well. They got control of the whole pie. It wasn't long before there was a paradigm shift in education in general and in sex-ed in particular. God was out, free sex was in--no consequences with birth control and abortion. As self-fulfillment is a big thing to them, any group arrangement was OK ---homosex, polysex, man-boy sex. They indoctrinate Humanism by using values clarification and situation ethics.
Here is the connection to our present day comprehensive, contraceptive sex-ed curriculum.
1918 to 1940 – The Birth Control Review was printed, which included articles from Dr. Ernst Ruden, head of the Nazi sterilization program.
1922 - In her book, The Pivot of Civilization, Margaret Sanger writes about working with William Ralph Inge, the dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and theologian for the Church of England, about getting contraception recognized as acceptable by the church. In the 1930 Lambeth Conference, the Church of England did just that, making it the first major church to make such a statement.
1940s - PP helped to negate the Comstock laws and effectively opened the U.S. mail to sex information. Today there is a thriving pornography business because of the removal of these laws.
1942 Birth Control Federation of America becomes Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
1963 Birth control pill is announced as being safe, natural, and physiologic
1964 Planned Parenthood president was Alan Guttmacher a signatory of Humanist Manifesto II.
Planned Parenthood founds SIECUS (Sexuality Information and Education Council for the US.) The SIECUS guidelines are a full implementation of the concepts on sexuality as set forth in Humanist Manifesto II. Lester Kirkendall was the founder of SIECUS and a signer of HM II.
1965 - Estelle Griswold, head of PP of Connecticut, initiated the court decision, Griswold v. Connecticut. This decision struck down all laws in the United States against contraception and found in “the emanations of the penumbra of the constitution” a right to privacy in sexual matters. This “right to privacy” found in the shadows opened the door for Roe v. Wade eight years later, and recently gave cause to strike down the anti-sodomy laws.
1998 AFY (Advocates for Youth), a radical group promoting homosexual, lesbian, bisexual and transgender practices for teens and children returned from a research trip to Europe where they studied the European sex education model.
1999 AFY recommended the US through off our outdated and irrelevant restraints by adopting the following:
Beginning in Kindergarten children should be taught explicit information about sexual matters.
Adults should teach and prepare kids for having sex rather than teach them for abstaining from having sex.
Adolescents should have access to pornography.
Sex ed and discussion about teen sexual activity should be value free and void of discussion about morality and virtue.
Condoms should be readily available and accessible in middle and high schools.
All Abstinence Until Marriage Education should be banned from public schools.
A national socialized medical system should pay for all abortion and contraceptive services. (So far they have 4 of the 7 accomplished.)
These recommendations by AFY are due to the fact that in 1996 in Washington there started to be a sentiment for a return to modesty and authentic abstinence education was clamoring for some of the sex-ed federal funding from Title V. Planned Parenthood was/is livid about having to give up their monopoly on federal funding for sex-ed.
2002 AFY teams up with SIECUS, Planned Parenthood, the Centers for Disease Control, NARAL, People for the American Way, PFLAG, to attack authentic Abstinence Until Marriage Education funding under Title V and reinvigorate the sexual revolution. They turned from teaching Health information to teaching Reproductive Health information.
The mission and theme of the campaign centers around the 3 R's Rights, Respect, and Responsibility.
RIGHTS: Children have a right to reproductive health care. This means they have a right to abortion on demand.
RESPONSIBILITY: means that young people need to be taught that pleasure is a part of human development, children are sexual from birth, and so called "safe-sex" should be part of lessons K-12. Involves readily available contraception especially condoms distribution.
RESPECT: Respect is two fold. The adult world is to show respect for teens and children to self-determination, deciding what services they want, what information they want access to and when they are ready to have sex.
Also "respect" is for respecting and affirming homosexuality as normal. Lots of propaganda to do that--the latest is from the National Education Association, where they have affirmed teaching on homosex "marriage".
2002 Maine passed Family Life Education Law MRSA 1910. Number one and two read as follows:
1. "Comprehensive life education" means education of students in K to grade 12 regarding human development and sexuality, including education on family planning and sexually transmitted diseases, that is medically correct and age-appropriate; that respects community values and encourages parental communication; that develops skills in communication, decision making and conflict resolution; that contributes to healthy relationships; that promotes responsible sexual behavior and addresses abstinence and the use of contraception; that promotes individual responsibility and involvement regarding sexuality; and that teaches skills for responsible decision making regarding sexuality."
2. "The commissioner shall provide effective, comprehensive family life education for students in K to grade 12. In providing such education, the commissioner shall contract with local family planning programs, including, but not limited to The Family Planning Association of Maine or its successor organization, to provide:".....
The Family Planning Association of Maine 2005 annual report of non-profit organization shows annual expenditures of approx. $5 million dollars. It receives about 1/3 of that from state of Maine and another 1/3 from the federal government. (our tax dollars at work). MFPA has been in the abortion business since 1997 providing abortion in South Portland and in Augusta. It also operates a statewide sex education program developing and implementing sex-ed curriculums.
2004 Maine's Education Commissioner fulfilled the mandate to provide comprehensive family life education to K-12 Maine children with SIECUS**2004 Sexuality Education.
Bottom line: SIECUS, along with Planned Parenthood and Family Planning Assoc.of Maine are financially vested interests the state of Maine has employed to provide the comprehensive K-12 sex-ed curriculum throughout the state of Maine. It is the dog chasing its tail. It is a wicked bad conflict of interest. Planned Parenthood knows the pill and condoms give rise to STD's and classroom sex-ed gives rise to the pill and condoms.
My opinion is that everybody loses with this plan, the children, the parents and families, the communities, and ultimately our society. Sex Education based on Humanism delivers moral rot and broken bodies. There is no faith, hope or love in giving youngsters permission to engage in sexual activity. "
