Children in Austin as young as 8 years old will now be taught to promote high-risk sexual behavior, thanks to a unanimous decision by the Austin Independent School District.
Just after midnight Tuesday, the AISD board approved a controversial sex education curriculum amid a crowd of concerned parents and citizens.
The district’s new curriculum includes role-playing scenarios for children that involve anal and oral sex and features a situation where an underage girl has a sexual relationship with a 17-year old that she hides from her parents.
The curriculum also teaches about numerous sexual orientations; children are told that their gender is based on their feelings rather than their biological sex, and they are encouraged to “challenge homophobia” by attending LGBT pride parades. Lesson plans also instruct teachers to use gender-neutral pronouns and avoid only using “binaries” such as “mom” and “dad.”
The lessons are aimed at elementary and middle school-aged children in grades three through eight.
At the school board meeting Monday night, over 100 people testified on the issue, most opposing the controversial lessons.
“[This curriculum] promotes a radical ideology that is in opposition to the values most Austin parents and families hold,” said AISD parent David Walls, vice president of the pro-family advocacy group Texas Values. “There is a resounding concern that this radical, hyper-sexualized sex education is going to be problematic for the future generations of kids in this city.”
“The bigger picture is to normalize these behaviors and to teach them to children so that they can feel okay with engaging in these behaviors, but they are not,” said Caryl Ayala, director of Concerned Parents of Texas. “No child should be engaged in any kind of sexual activity.”
“Tonight, you might think that your legacy might be inclusion,” Jennifer Fleck, a candidate for Texas House, told the school board. “But the truth is that confusing a child’s sexuality and gender will provide a legacy of destruction.”
Prior to the meeting, Texas Values hosted a press conference outside of the board room with a crowd of supporters—but they were abruptly disrupted when several protestors began shouting and playing kazoos and sirens. One disrupter was even detained by the police.
Despite the chaos, however, parents still spoke out in defense of their children.
“I’m concerned because the curriculum is very advanced, and some parents feel that it is not age-appropriate,” said parent M.J. Alvardo. “It introduces and normalizes advanced sexual behaviors to children at a very young age, and perhaps places ideas in their mind that might not have been there before and can potentially lead to some early and unhealthy sexual behaviors.”
AISD has uploaded drafts of the curriculum online (for grades third through fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth), and the lessons are set to begin districtwide in May. Parents can opt their children out but must do so by March.
"... a unanimous decision ..." despite the protests of parents at the meeting. And these school board members were elected by the citizens of Austin. Let's hope that the Austin cancer does not metastasize to the rest of the state.
Texans need to wake up and quit blaming Californians who move here. Our education system is a liberal indoctrination system just like any other state.
Teachers are all union and unions are nothing but Democrat party activists.
Why parents choose to ignore that the government works for us and not us for them, I do not know
I educated my kids. Just duh
These kids are our future
People think that pre pubescent people can handle the concept of sex and worse, abnormal sex
How stupid. How abusive
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Here’s an idea. Reading, Writing, Math and History. That is all
It’s called corrupting a minor and these teachers are grooming sex playthings.
In Germany in the 1960s and 70s the teachers were having sex with students and observing them having sex. It was called the f-ing hour and Der Spiegel has written about it.
Same agenda, they never stop.
‘Role playing’ they call it.
Planned Parenthood has told minors who have become ‘bored’ with sex about sadomasochism torture etc and explained safe words because PP is pro-rape and wants kids to know that “no diesnt always mean no”
SHAMEFUL WIMPY IDIOTS....

I wouldn’t mind a slightly expanded list. My children’s school also includes science, social studies, and religion and it seems to work well.
What standardized test could they possibly be hoping to improve scores for?
I smell Planned Parenthood involvement in the development of these courses.
The kind of peaceful protests the right does are mostly ineffective against leftists. The Left will get in your face, the Right won’t. It’s time to realize that the old rules won’t work anymore.
Are the governor and the legislature absent from this fight?
Congress to the rescue of the good citizens of Austin! /sarc
The Founding States gave the feds the express power to make sure that state actors respect the will of legal majority voters, the parents in the referenced school district in this example.
"Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government [emphasis added], and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
Also consider the express constitutional safety net if outraged parents are minority voters, Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A), particularly freedoms of religious expression and speech in this example.
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Also regarding 14A:
UC Berkeley relatively recently had to pay compensation under 14A concerning abridging 1st Amendment free speech protections.
UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group
Problem is that California taxpayers, not Berkeley offending state actors, will probably end up paying compensation.
Patriots who value their constitutionally enumerated protections of freedom of religious expression and free speech consider that Acts 22:25-29 shows that Apostle Paul got out of a flogging by claiming his Roman citizenship.
H O W E V E R...
Regardless of constitutionally enumerated protections, we are still stuck with a worthless Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably sit on its hands while activist state actors continue to violate constitutional protections.
The remedy for constitutionally failed federal and state governments…
Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to fully support PDJT’s already excellent work for MAGA, now KAG, but will also do the following.
New patriot lawmakers also need to promise to exercise their constitutional enumerated powers to make penal laws to protect citizens from oppression by corrupt state actors.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
"In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary. Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated patriarchal family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow Lukacs launched a radical sex education program in the schools. Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority. All of this was accompanied by a reign of cultural terror perpetrated against parents, priests, and dissenters.
Hungary's youth, having been fed a steady diet of values-neutral (atheism) and radical sex education while simultaneously encouraged to rebel against all authority, easily turned into delinquents ranging from bullies and petty thieves to sex predators, murderers, and sociopaths.
Gramsci's prescription and Lukacs' plans were the precursor to what Cultural Marxism in the guise of SIECUS, GSLEN, and the ACLU--acting as judicially-powered enforcers--later brought into American schools"

The depravity, insanity, and other evils that have unfolded here in America surpass the depravity, etc. that over took Russia.

Unf**king believable!!

Nah! Blaming Californians for every evil thing happens in their states is both the short and long range plan in about 48 of the states. Voters in Hawaii don't care.
Thanks for posting and prepare for flaming.
Austin. Welcome to the Berkeley of the South.
