Make Family Life Opt-In Rather Than Opt-Out

To: Speaker of the House Kirk Cox

Senate Majority Leader Thomas K. Norment, Jr.

Parents and families have the primary responsibility of teaching their children values and morals about human sexuality, not school administrators. I support changing all Family Life Education curriculum to be “Opt-In” rather than “Opt-Out.” Family Life Educators should be required to obtain written permission from parents before teaching their children about sensitive sexual topics. I ask you, as leaders of your respective bodies, to do all that is in your power leading up to and during the 2019 General Assembly session to encourage passage of legislation that will require the affirmative consent of parents before their children are exposed to any Family Life Education curriculum.

Sincerely,

Fairfax County Votes to Tell Boys They Might be Girls

By Austin Ruse & Cathy Ruse Published on June 15, 2018

The final vote was a foregone conclusion. No one thought deeply ideological Fairfax County (VA) School Board would vote any other way than 10‑1 for what is among the most radical sex-ed curriculum in the country.

The ten board members, whose names are listed below and who should go down in infamy, voted for children to be taught that they aren’t really male or female, that biological sex is meaningless, that they can transition to a different sex than the sex “assigned” to them a birth. And they will be taught this without their parents’ permission.

The board voted 10‑1 to instruct children about the daily gay sex pill PrEP, recommended for the “very high risk” behavior of condom-less sex with multiple partners of unknown HIV status. PrEP has a 10% failure rate for preventing HIV infection and even AIDs Health organizations warn against it. But the Fairfax School Board just voted to teach it to every high school student, every year, without their parents’ permission.

Four SHOCKING additions that the School Board is planning in Sex Ed

The Fairfax County School Board is approving several controversial additions to the Family Life Education (FLE, or sex education) curricula, a program already under heavy criticism from parent groups. Most Fairfax voters, including parents, don’t know that FLE teaches information that is not scientifically based and potentially dangerous to children’s physical and mental health.

The comment period ended June 8, but parents and community members can attend the June 14 School Board meeting at Luther Jackson Middle School when they will make their final decision.

Here are just four of the many SHOCKING changes in sex-ed proposed for this September:

The School Board recommends the use of a dangerous…
