You cannot "opt out" of sex education for your child

Our society was seduced into the idea of sex education on grounds of hygiene and efficiency in distributing basic information. We were wrong, as I explain in this article, but the truth is that our moral leaders (of all faiths) were busy abdicating all common sense overall, and for their own reasons were forgetting that parents, and only parents, are responsible for and have the grace of state to broach such matters with their children.

Eventually many parents began to be aware of the failure of sex education -- of its lies. I'm telling you this as someone who was a student at the cutting edge, in the 70s, and who realized in the late 80s, as a young mother, how impervious to recourse its supporters are.

People scrambled to influence the curriculum on boards of education everywhere, not realizing that an agenda is in place that is so large, representing a collaboration between the government and Planned Parenthood,  that it cannot be reined in by ordinary citizens. Parents acting on their own simply lack political power. 

Then they thought that perhaps they could opt their children out of the classes and thereby protect them. This is where we continue to be now, decades (a half a century, really) after the first threat appeared: parents scrambling to see if they can somehow protect their precious children's innocence and emotional well being from attacks that are increasingly aggressive and twisted.

However, there are three problems with opting out. 

First, the assumption that one would be informed has sorely been put to the test over the course of this long fight, during which children repeatedly come home already having been subjected to yet another curriculum, foist upon them without parental knowledge. 

Second, the extreme depravity at every level (including young children being told the mechanics of sodomy, among other topics), such that only the most obtuse child can emerge unscathed from even the slightest contact with it. There is no margin for error.

Third, the strategy, honed over all these years, has solidified and produces a system designed to create an ideological separation of children from their parents, creating a void into which state agencies can step to take control.

Thus, we must confront one fact so obvious that it's remarkable it even needs stating -- but it does: 

You cannot simply opt your child out of sex education while sending him to school, and consider him protected.

The truth is that you cannot opt your child out of the pervasive ideology that the sex education juggernaut has become (inclusive of critical race theory and a sort of marxist-inspired class warfare on parents). And you cannot opt him out of talking to his companions and sharing the general atmosphere inhabited by those who are exposed to and indoctrinated in a world view that is not about quaint "facts of life" (though even those ought not to be up for general discussion). The subject matter involves details so perverted they would make a doctor squirm. But, as I say, it's worse: these programs are designed to create a division between child and parent.

In other words, what good does it do to take the child out of a class in which these details are shared and subversive conversations initiated, but leave him in the company of those with whom they were shared and indoctrinated? Even if we concede the premise that the subject matter is confined to one class and not pervasive across the entire curriculum? Do parents really think that children compartmentalize their information? That they don't discuss details with each other? That the more disturbed they are, the more likely they are to go over the topics with their friends?

No matter how careful parents are to shield children from the formal aspects of the curriculum, children will know what has been taught; they will be exposed to information that damages their innocence. Children, to have a chance at developing a healthy emotional life and integrated personality, must be left with their innocence intact as much as possible, and spared the complications of an adult world that has spiraled out of all semblance of normalcy. Children should not be pornified!

Opting out doesn't protect them. The authorities offer opting out as a concession, but one made with the full knowledge that it is only a superficially effective. Opting out is a form of controlled opposition -- a tactic to give the impression of control to those whose feeble resistance can be easily overcome.

Then what is the answer? What choice do parents have?

Only removing them completely out of the toxic environment and offering a healthy one away from these influences will help your children.

I realize that this idea seems impossible to a good number of parents, although it's remarkable how many have realized and acted upon it already -- and perhaps that gives the rest hope. 

I have spent the past 15 years trying to help parents realize that education -- and protecting their children from evil -- is a primary parental duty, doing my best to offer help on my "other" blog, Like Mother, Like Daughter. I sincerely hope that more parents will wake up and realize that it's unthinkable to let their children remain with those who want to teach them to hate their parents and to revel in perversity, and that it's impossible to opt out while remaining in place. 

There is only one thing that will change the trend in public (and much of private) education today, and that is families leaving the system entirely. But even if the system doesn't change, parents cannot sacrifice their children to it. 

You cannot opt out -- you must get out.

  5. Do you have any advice for what to do if your child is at the high school? I’ve read your post on LMLD about how a wife can approach things when husband and wife may disagree, and there is plenty for me to work on there! But in the meantime, for various reasons, my son is at the school. I know I can pray, certainly. I’ve been talking with my husband about discussions he and my son can have (he’s happy to, but it just isn’t on the top of his mind as often as it is on mine). I try to know as well as I can what’s being taught. I can do some limited (and yes, superficial) opting out. Anything else?
