From Health Ed to Perversion

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, October 30, 2015 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

When the education establishment decided to teach situation ethics instead of absolute values, the change came through new regulations, school policies, curriculum content, and new courses. Those changes affect everything students are taught, but the most dramatic culture change occurred in sex education, which has been thoroughly corrupted, and parental rights have been trampled.

Originally, health education was added to the curriculum to guide boys and girls through puberty by explaining how the human body matures into adulthood. However, atheism quickly filled the void left when absolutes were rejected. Soon health education morphed into sex education that first taught students to reserve sexual activity until marriage. The focus, then, was on abstinence, until someone decided children have a right to be sexually active, regardless of their age or laws or morality. So, students were taught to practice “safe sex,” then “safer sex.”

Not content with that progress, the powers-that-be decided to provide trips to abortion clinics for kids whose safe-sex method failed, and all would be well. No one would tell mom or dad. To further their agenda, homosexual activists convinced the education establishment to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) instruction in sex education that, already, had become courses in sexuality training, instead of information about maturing into adulthood and the process of reproduction.

To accommodate the recent LGBT emphasis on transgender selection for children, the National Education Association (NEA) adopted several new business items during their annual conference in July this year. Each new item builds on the other.

• Item 30 requires members of the NEA to be instructed in ways transgender students and staff can be authorized to access bathrooms and locker rooms, regardless of their anatomic identity.
• Item 45 endorses policies that allow students to change the name they’re called at school, without a court-ordered name change.
• Item 74 says schools must adopt a gender-neutral dress code, so students can dress in “drag” if they want to, any day at any time.
• Item New I endorsed same-sex marriage.
• Item New B, specifically, supports the use of LGBTQ educational programs.

So, in this country, public education has become so perverted that young children are now being told they can choose whether they want to be a boy or girl, and act accordingly, regardless of their anatomy. Considering all that, can public education be restored to truth, common sense, and reality? For Georgia Insight I’m Sue Ella Deadwyler, your Capitol correspondent
