Once again, Planned Parenthood is knee deep in a coalition with government officials and morally bereft sex-pushing organizations, to the great detriment of American schoolchildren. The group is pushing to define and standardize the sex ed core curriculum, content, and skills for students in K-12.

The National Sexuality Education Standards are published by The Future of Sex Education (FoSE) Initiative, a partnership involving Advocates for Youth, Answer, and the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S. (SIECUS). All three organizations are intricately intertwined with Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood leaders are on the Advisory Committee and among the additional reviewers of the FoSE National Standards. In addition, Douglas Kirby of ETR is on the list of additional reviewers. ETR began its existence as the education arm of Planned Parenthood of Santa Cruz, California.

SIECUS was launched in 1964 by the Kinsey Institute to teach the Kinsey philosophy of sex education in American schools. Dr. Mary Calderone, a former medical director at Planned Parenthood, was the first director of SIECUS.

In a nutshell, Kinsey was convinced that traditional morality is irrelevant and destructive. For this man it was "anything goes" when it came to sexuality. He believed that pedophiles were misunderstood and that their punishments were unjust. Sexuality is not an appetite to be curbed, Kinsey insisted. He taught it and he lived it.

Advocates for Youth was founded in 1980 and was originally called Center for Population Options. It was founded by Joy Dryfoos, who is often considered the "mother" of the School Based Health Clinic (SBHC) movement. It mirrors Planned Parenthood's philosophy with its facilitation of immoral, dangerous sexual behavior under the guise of safe sex.

FoSE craftily partnered with other organizations that are in a position to fast-track its national standards - and from there the sex education its members and advisors publish - into the schools.

The National Sexuality Education Standards are a one-way gate constructed by Planned Parenthood and friends to ensure that only Kinsey-inspired, Planned Parenthood-style "comprehensive" sex education may enter into the public schools. Not only that, but the evidence is clear that they seek to ensure that children be schooled in brazen immorality to the exclusion of religious or parental influence.

Do you know what your children are learning in school? There is strength in numbers, and our publication Parent Power!! will teach you how to organize resistance to Planned Parenthood and its cohorts and get them out of your schools. Our website devotes an entire section to getting and keeping Planned Parenthood out of public schools. Our just-released video, "Hooking Kids on Sex II," can be a powerful tool in your hands to stop Planned Parenthood's encroachment into the public schools. Warning: It is a very graphic presentation of Planned Parenthood materials and community outreach, and is not suitable for children. You can view it at http://all.org/ppsexed. Then forward it to your local school officials and elected representatives.
