A Massachusetts bill that recommended teaching children as young as 12 about oral and anal sex failed in the state House last week amid growing public outrage.
The College Fix reports state Senate Bill 2128 passed the state Senate but died in the House last week when the legislative session ended.
The bill seemed harmless enough at first. It would have required public schools to provide “comprehensive” sex education that is medically accurate and age-appropriate. This included “the benefits of abstinence and delaying sexual activity” and “the effective use of contraceptives and barrier methods.”
However, Andrew Beckwith, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, examined the bill closely and discovered the “age-appropriate” recommendations were more than what they seemed.
He found that one of the recommended curricula was “Get Real,” published by Planned Parenthood. The middle school program teaches children as young as 12 “how to perform oral and anal sex,” Beckwith wrote at the New Boston Post in July.
He continued:
Not satisfied with merely introducing the concept of certain non-reproductive sex acts, “Get Real” goes on to teach twelve-year-olds in eye-watering detail how to properly use a “dental dam,” which is “placed over the vulva … or anus during oral sex.” Concerned that your seventh-grader might not have a “dental dam” handy? No problem. State education officials and Planned Parenthood want your child to know they can “also use non-microwavable saran wrap.” [This reference also happens to dilute S.C. Johnson & Son’s trademark.] When the nation’s largest abortion provider tells young children to make their own prophylactics at home out of kitchen implements, that ought to concern us.
Beckwith pointed out that the age of consent for sexual activity in Massachusetts is 16 – “so why would we want to mandate teaching children four years younger than that about an act which the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes as one of the riskiest sexual behaviors?”
Another recommended curriculum that Beckwith discovered included a 20-minute workshop about masturbation.
“Why in the world would legislators want to take that authority out of the hands of their constituents and give it to bureaucrats at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education who think 12-year-olds should act like porn stars?” he wrote.
Thankfully, state lawmakers listened to concerned parents and did not.
SIGN THE PETITION! Congress Must De-Fund Planned Parenthood Immediately
Planned Parenthood teaches sex education to at least 221,000 students in 31 states, according to CBS News.
But the abortion giant is losing ground. Earlier this year, parents’ massive protests prompted a North Carolina school board to reject Planned Parenthood’s sex education program in its middle schools.
Concerned parents in Pennsylvania, Michigan, California, Washington state, New York and other parts of the country also have protested Planned Parenthood’s involvement in their students’ education in the past year.
In 2017, President Donald Trump’s administration cut taxpayer funding to one of Planned Parenthood’s sex education programs. HHS spokesman Mark Vafiades told the New York Times last year that there is very little evidence that the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program was successful. The abortion chain is suing to block the cuts.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion chain in the United States, aborting more than 320,000 unborn babies every year. Its sex education programs have been criticized for promoting risky sexual behavior to vulnerable young teens and tweens.
In 2014, Live Action release an undercover video series showing Planned Parenthood employees encouraging young teens to participate in sado-masochistic sexual activities, including gagging, whipping, asphyxiation, shopping at sex stores and viewing pornography.
LifeNews also reported Planned Parenthood’s booklet for HIV-positive youth, “Healthy, Happy and Hot,” tells young people that it is their “human right” to not tell their partner that they have HIV.
The abortion giant also publishes multiple “resources” for children and teenagers concerning sexual activity. These materials claim to provide “age appropriate” sex education to children starting at age 4.
You would not normally think so, but there may be more connection than you realize. Guilt was placed in the human psyche after the first bite of the apple. When we sin we are well aware of it (undeniable). The sin-loaded conscience cries out for forgiveness, and only God can give the forgiveness so desperately needed. So, you will find some of the most dedicated "church" attenders among the gay population. They believe that their devotion to their "religion" and works will get them a ticket to heaven. Not realizing that it won't. "Not by works, saith the lord." There is that thing called repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord of your life. Grace.

As I read the title, I knew it had to be either Massachusetts, or California.
“Well yes, you will not feed me agnosticism. “
Are you sure I can’t talk you into it?
(Just kidding :-)
I respect your belief in god, and although I don’t share it, I do believe the world is a better place because of people like you.
“only God can give the forgiveness so desperately needed. “
I respect your belief in god.
As far as I’m concerned, the important questions, such as How did we get here? Why are we here? What happens after we die? - these questions must remain a mystery, because scientists can hypothesize all they want but there will never be proof. Likewise, religion can claim knowledge but their beliefs can’t be proven either.
Neither science nor religion can answer these questions - they can only say what they BELIEVE to be true.
I am so glad we have people like you, to counter the scientists’ arrogance and remind them that they really don’t know the answers. In the same way, I’m glad we have the scientists, to keep the religious people in check.
It’s a good balance with each side reminding the other that their beliefs are just that - beliefs.
Beats me...
Never found science contra to faith myself. Not if you take science seriously.Most use theories as an excuse to deny God though. But science is not theories.
Agnosticism is just a lack of observation IMHO. One has to actually look to find things.
However there is a spiritual principle that directly leads to immorality. If one rejects the creator to fawn over creation the creator may to wash his hands of the relationship. This results in a man being delivered over to his lusts leading to homosexuality and other forms of perversion.
Sad situation that, irreversible. Rejecting God is reversible, God rejecting you is not.
“Agnosticism is just a lack of observation IMHO. “
IMHO means “In my humble opinion”.
Are you humbly expressing your opinions here? It doesn’t sound like it. Missing are words such as “I think...” and “I believe...”.
If you just make statements as if they are provable facts, it does’t sound that humble.
The religious category would necessarily include Catholic clergy, would it not?
