I noticed it this week in Virginia. Getting out in the early morning hours, I encountered school buses picking up children for their in-person classes. It reminded me of the fact that the purveyors of comprehensive sexuality education programs in the schools had a rough time in the schools during the pandemic.

Since children were distance learning, mostly from their homes, parents had the opportunity to view a lot of material they would not ordinarily see. Knowing this, many of the schools toned down the sex ed material and, of course, guest speakers from Planned Parenthood and other pro-sex organizations were either not invited or instructed to keep content parent friendly.

With the opening of schools in most states starting this month, we need to be extremely vigilant in monitoring what is going on in the classrooms. Planned Parenthood proclaims itself as the number one teacher of sexuality education programs in the nation. So, you can expect it will be chomping at the bit to teach innocent children “how to obtain sexual satisfaction before marriage” —as PP’s Dr. Leena Levine described PP sex ed programs in 1952.

To be ready for this effort, we recommend you read Dr. Melvin Anchell’s article, A Psychoanalytic Look at Today's Sex Education. Written in the 1990s, it is still valid today. Reading his warnings of what would happen to our society if classroom sex education were to become common, one needs only to look around at our society to know how right he was. But it is not too late. We can prevent further harm and begin to reverse the tide if we all take seriously our roles as parents and grandparents.

At the same time Dr. Anchell was writing his article, STOPP published a “how to” book on fighting sexuality education programs in schools. The book, Parent Power!!, is now available for free on STOPP’s website. You can download a copy for free here.

Planned Parenthood has been fighting the battle for abortion in school classrooms for decades. You can stop them, but you must become involved with your local school systems.
