A woman tasked with helping decide sexual education curriculum in Godley ISD has been removed from multiple positions within the district because she's a convicted prostitute. A FOX 4 investigation also found she is advertising herself online as an escort. The discovery raises concerns about background checks in the district and across the state. "We had no idea what was going on in her personal life. She was always very friendly and personable," said Godley ISD School Board trustee Kayla Lain. A convicted prostitute, actively advertising as an escort, was serving on a council that recommends "appropriate grade levels and...

A federal court has ruled that a group of interfaith parents have no proof that a school district violated their right to free expression by removing an option to opt their students out of lessons teaching LGBT ideology that conflicts with their religious values. Parents from Muslim, Christian and Jewish backgrounds sued to restore their right to shield their children from content deemed offensive and pushing sexual indoctrination after the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) enacted a no-opt-out policy. Books that the parents object to for pre-K through fifth grades as part of an LGBT curriculum include Pride Puppy and...

The United Nations is the last organisation which should be giving advice this sensitive topic The World Health Organisation has orchestrated a “framework for policy makers, educational and health authorities and specialists” titled, “Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe”. Its purpose is to standardise (in other words override) the diverse teaching practices of each sovereign nation within Europe and the wider international community with regards to sexual education. Having all-but-forced European nations to comply, the United Nations is seeking to expand a similar framework to all UN member states – including Australia. This framework is called International Guidance on Sexuality...

GWYNETH PALTROW WITH DAUGHTER, APPLE Actress Gwyneth Paltrow admitted during a recent podcast interview that she wasn't prepared for how much her children’s school in Los Angles, California, taught preteens about sex. The Hollywood star and founder of the newsletter Goop, which also sells beauty products and sex toys, said during a May 3 interview with host Alex Cooper on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that her children’s school taught sex education to sixth graders.

Society is in an aggressive state of change, and that includes the arena of Christian education. Baylor University is the world’s largest Baptist college. The 16,000-student institution was founded in 1845, making it the oldest perpetually-operating university in Texas. Even so, don’t assume it’s old-fashioned. On March 23rd, the school hosted an event certifying its contemporary credentials. As advertised on Instagram, the extravaganza was called “Queer Sex Ed.” An accompanying caption read, “Secret is out. See you tomorrow!! You can still DM us to become a member and join our Queer Sex Ed!!!” The ad didn’t detail what was involved,...

Vaccine-peddling billionaire Bill Gates, through his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is funneling money into a nongovernmental organization (NGO) that teaches 10-year-olds and younger about “commercial sex work” and being “interested” in those with “diverse gender identities.” Bill Gates has been found to have yet another connection to the sexualization of children around the globe, through his multi-million dollar annual donations to the International Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF), which is related to the American Planned Parenthood abortion mill organization and also founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger, but functions as a separate entity. IPPF’s network is composed of 120 “independent organizations”...

Educators in all Florida public schools for all grave levels will now be banned from teaching students about gender identity and sexual orientation in a sweeping move announced by Ron DeSantis's board of education on Wednesday. The move marks a huge expansion of the The Parental Rights in Education law - also dubbed the 'Don't Say Gay' bill by critics - which was signed last year by the governor and sparked a firestorm across the country. Critics of the policy claim it could harm children who identify as gay and transgender. While the previous version of the law prohibited instruction...

According to the Murphy Administration’s Department of Education, in September all New Jersey public schools must adhere to the new Student Learning Standards in Health and Physical Education. This has caused consternation among some parents and schools leaders because the new standards include second graders discussing “the range of ways people express their gender and how gender-role stereotypes may limit behavior,” fifth-graders explaining masturbation and sexual feelings, and eighth-graders defining “vaginal, oral, and anal sex.” Districts have responded in different ways, some embracing the new standards’ promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and others arguing the standards are not age-appropriate....

How young is too young to learn about gender identity and expression? Second grade? First grade? Not for the Wauwatosa School District which is proposing such lessons for kindergarten students in the upcoming school year. The district sent a letter to parents and guardians this week informing them of proposed changes to its Human Growth and Development curriculum that include classes on gender identity, sexual orientation, and other sex-themed topics from kindergarten straight through to high school. The series of five lessons for kindergarteners, who are typically five or six years old, starts innocuously enough with a discussion of students’...

As sex educators, we are deeply concerned about the recent effort to paint our work as “grooming” or “sexualizing” children. In fact, our goal is the exact opposite: to make sure children have the skills needed to repel the tactics used by predators. ...So the question of the moment is: How is sex education different from grooming? “My God! Why is that even a question?” (Rahel Bayar, a former sex crimes and child abuse prosecutor) laughed. “Grooming typically involves secrecy … which is one of the reasons why we teach the difference between secrets and surprises. Secrets have no ending...

In Fairfax County, Virginia, changes set to be approved May 26 would punish ‘malicious misgendering’ at the same level as assault and battery.For those who scoff that Florida’s new education law bans “non-existent” gender indoctrination, let the tale of Fairfax County, Virginia serve as a wake-up call. Fairfax County’s school board has long prided itself on leading the way for the nation in cutting-edge education policy and curriculum. As the tenth-largest district in the nation, it holds disproportionate sway over other school boards. In 2015, the Fairfax school board blindsided parents with changes to its non-discrimination policy, followed by a...

WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said Monday that his department will monitor Florida’s implementation of a controversial new education law that restricts classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity to determine whether it violates federal civil rights law. Mr. Cardona’s statement hints at potential legal ramifications for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision Monday to sign the legislation, which critics have called the “don’t say gay” bill, into law. But it does not specify what actions the Biden administration could take in response. “By signing this bill, Governor DeSantis has chosen to target some of Florida’s most vulnerable students...

Lawmakers are starting to take action against social media companies for the perceived effects of their platforms on children, targeting algorithms that recommend explicit content to underage users — but some worry these efforts might fall short. An investigation by The Wall Street Journal published in July found that young users on TikTok were being recommended images and videos of drug use, pornography and links to adult websites, including OnlyFans. The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) conducted an investigation of its own into the same phenomenon, also finding that children were being recommended sexually explicit content. Earlier this month,...

Absent parent pushback, an updated guide used in public schools nationwide will promote abortion and gender confusion and expose kids to sordid, explicit sex education.This article contains adult-level information about sex and genitals.Last year, three leftist nonprofits created the National Sex Education Standards, a blueprint for the “sex education” of K-12 children. In practice, the standards serve as an indoctrination camp in extremist sexual ethics designed to destroy children’s innocence and undermine their attachment to the traditional, Judeo-Christian understanding of sex and marriage.About 40 percent of school districts had adopted the earlier, less extreme 2011 version of the National Sexuality...

Chicago keeps making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Earlier this month, Chicago Public Schools announced that it would be making free condoms available in schools, beginning with children in the fifth grade. In case you’re wondering (or too old to remember), fifth grade is still elementary school, and fifth graders are typically 10 or 11 years old. Kenneth Fox, M.D., described in a Chicago Sun-Times article as “CPS’ top doctor,” was quoted as saying that the decision to make condoms available to fifth graders was “informed by a developmental understanding of children.” Excuse me? Most 10 and 11-year-olds have...

Get ready for the latest woke wave in education: comprehensive sex ed for kids as young as 5 — thanks to a new bill in the state Senate. Legislation sponsored by state Sen. Samra G. Brouk, a freshman Democrat from Rochester, would tie New York’s health curriculum to standards written by a left-wing interest group that advocates “Sex Ed for Social Change” — and would make those lessons mandatory statewide.

Are American men less masculine than they were generations before? What environmental factors are impacting our health, economy, and society? Jacki Deason, host of “The Jacki Daily Show,” joins Candace to discuss these topics and more.

Leftist LGBT advocacy groups seek to hijack Texas 'sex-ed' to teach medically inaccurate, highly sexualized LGBT programming as early as kindergarten. For the first time since 1997, Texas education officials are reviewing — and potentially revising — health standards for all Texas public schools. While this should be an opportunity for strengthening the current factual, biological standards, leftist LGBT advocacy groups are calling this review process a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to attack Texas’s abstinence-focused approach and teach medically inaccurate, highly sexualized LGBT programming as early as kindergarten.In Texas, the State Board of Education recently took public testimony on recommendations for new...

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood is one of the organizations that worked with the state’s Department of Education to prepare the new standards.WARNING: The following article contains sexually explicit language and material. TRENTON, New Jersey, June 8, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The new standards for sex education in public schools of New Jersey push homosexuality and gender ideology, as well as abortion and contraception.

LGBTQ activist groups and Planned Parenthood are applauding the New Jersey State Board of Education’s approval of their “gold standard” sex ed standards.
