6. “I used to sit on AISD’s LBTQ community committee, and the
district assured us that all forms had been updated to be
inclusive of all families. Would you consider changing “mother”
and “father” to “guardian” or “caregiver”?” -- in response to a
student transferring into AISD
- “A funder is looking at awarding Welcoming Schools with a
grant for Texas – specific work. To receive this grant, our
development team needs some background context + an
estimate of what future engagement will look like.
Can you provide me a summary of
- Current schools you’re doing in TX with Welcoming Schools
- The next year’s forecast for this work
-- from Welcoming School Project Coordinator – HRC (district
denied any current collaboration)

7. “Apparently, TFN, Planned Parenthood, Equality Texas and HRC
/Welcoming Schools are all trying to organize a counter event
…” – in response to our library presentation on Aug. 12, 2017
“We have it on good authority that they’re expecting a large
coordinated response against their meeting are hoping it will
attract a lot of media attention to their beliefs. The best action
this Saturday is NO ACTION. They need to know that their
views are small and insignificant, unworthy of direct response.”

ways our children are

lie”

in HuffPo article “I Have Come to

LGBTQ Agenda (And I'm Not a Bit
Sorry)”

19. History and Philosophy
of Sex Ed
And the consequences for teen health
Concerned Parents of Austin

20. Karl Marx Alfred KinseyMargaret Sanger
Whose beliefs, language and values?
Writer of the Communist
Manifesto (1848)
 Main goal:
Destruction of the
family and religion
 One means: Growth
of unconstrained
sexual intercourse
among women
 Founder of Planned
Parenthood
 Racist and eugenecist –
ridding world of “human
weeds” through
contraception
 Separation of sex from
childbearing  would
lead to women as
objects of sex
 Pedophile and extreme
sexual deviant
 Belief that children can
receive sexual pleasure
from birth
 His ‘research’, based on
other deviants, shaped
society’s modern
concepts of sexuality

21. Anything goes, no judgments allowed. Even on established high-risk behavior.
Focus on sexual rights of children.
The more information and the earlier your small children get it, the better.

Sexuality is our entire selves, influences us in every way, and encompasses
everything. There are many ways to express sexuality and each is equal.
3
Children have the right to question their parent’s ideas about sex, to explore
their own sexuality through experimentation and to develop their own values.
4
…and parents have the duty to support them in their quest, without judgment.

22. “3 R’s” Program
- Rights
- Respect
- Responsibility
 Advocates for youth is an outgrowth of
the population control movement of
the 1960s and '70s
 In 2001, Advocates began to frame the
abstinence-only sex education debate as
an assault on public health…this later
became a cornerstone of the Obama
administration's guiding principles...
 Advocates for abortion, sexual “rights”
for children.

years old

 Activities with “NO RISK for STIs”: “Bathing together;
Kissing on the lips; Mutual masturbation; Solo

activity.” (For ages 11-12, 6th grade book, pg. 110)
Examples:
 Various role plays promote teen sex. For example,
“Andrea and Diana are two girls who just met last
weekend at a party. They had fun together, and now
they’ve hooked up again this weekend. They’re alone in
Andrea’s basement. Plan a role-play in which Diana asks
Andrea about having sex and they make a decision.” (For
ages 14 and up, High school book, pg. 30)
 “With oral sex, the person performing oral sex is at higher
risk because their mouth is coming into contact with the
other person’s genitals. People can reduce their STI risk
further by using flavored condoms or other barriers like
dental dams.”

age, loss of innocence
 Encouragement of risky
and harmful behaviors
 Grooming for exploitation

34. Types of Sex Education
Sexual Risk ReductionSexual Risk Avoidance
SRAAbstinence SRR “Comprehensive”
Emphasis on
Abstinence
Devote more than 50% of page content to promoting
abstinence
Devote less than 5% of their page content to SRA.
Allocate six times more content to the goal of promoting
contraception than to the goal of promoting abstinence.
Focus Risk elimination. (abstinence) Risk reduction. (contraceptive use, especially condoms)
Message Focused. (Abstinence until marriage is clearly the BEST
choice.)
Mixed. (EITHER abstinence OR having sex with a condom
are equally good choices; or, abstinence is marginally better
than having sex with contraception.)
Philosophy a) Teen sex and/or casual sex is problematic, even if
contraception is used, based on risk of STDs, pregnancy,
and negative emotional consequences
a) As long as contraception is used, teen sex and/or casual sex
is unproblematic. There are no potential negative emotional
consequences.
b) Armed with full information about the risks of teen sex
and the benefits of abstinence, teens CAN and DO choose
to refrain from having sex. (The majority of teens today –
53% - have not had sex.)
b) Teen sex is expected, inevitable, and a natural part of
healthy sexual development.
Behavioral
Goal
Delayed sexual initiation, preferably until marriage, or
“renewed abstinence” for the student already sexually
experienced.
Increased contraceptive use, especially condom.
