When my son was 12 and going into 6th grade, we lived in Rochester, NY. before the school year began, I sat down with the woman who was supposed to teach "social studies"--i.e., sex education. I demanded to see every book and lesson plan for the curriculum. I asked probing questions about what she would be teaching. It all seemed benign--getting along with others, how to talk to girls, understanding hormonal changes, approaching your parents, that sort of thing.

Everything she said and showed me was a lie.

My first clue should have been that this woman was from the county social services department, and she went from school to school teaching the same class. But it was 1989, and I'd never had a kid in 6th grade before. It honestly never occurred to me that she would blatantly deceive, but she did.

About the middle of the year, my son came home one day and asked, out of the blue, "Mom, what's anal sex?"

After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I asked him why he wanted to know. "Mrs. ___ said it's a good way to keep from getting pregnant," he answered. "So what is it?"

I gave him a rudimentary explanation. "Ewwwww! That's so gross!" he yelled, and went to walk the dog.

The next day I took him out of that class.

A former pastor of ours used to work as a school counselor in the Rochester system. He told us that at his school, they kept TWO sets of records--one to be pulled out when demanding, nosey parents came around wanting to see their kid's paperwork, and the other one that only school personnel got to see. The real one.

I've heard of that happening before. Either the kid never gets to take the textbook home or the teacher tells the kid not to discuss what they learned in class that day.

Did you confront the liar? Get in her face in a public manner? That's what it takes.

That is a remarkable story. There is a demonic agenda at work here, and the goal is to win the hearts and minds of the next generation.

What's more troubling than these so-called "educators" and their indoctrination to embrace perversion is the parents who do nothing at all in response.
