“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
– The Holy Bible, KJV, Psalms 11:3

Parental authority was destroyed in Georgia in 1968 when the legislature passed a simple law1 that authorized the Public Health Department to provide “family planning” services to anyone, including minors, without notifying parents.

By 1985, 17 years later, page 69 of a 397-page congressional report listed Georgia as one of six states where adolescents obtain services without parental consent. Table 7, “State-by-State Comments Concerning Selected Federal, State and Local Programs,” says Georgia Public Health Department policy3 considers children seeking services as “emancipated minors.”

Innocence destroyed. An example of innocence-destruction is the Family Life and Sexual Health (FLASH) curriculum that teaches family diversity to young children. FLASH originated in the state of Washington and was copyrighted by Public Health – Seattle & King County. Lesson two for grades 4-6 focuses on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) by requiring pupils to define, study, learn and discuss in class (a) five sexual orientations – lesbian, gay, bisexual, straight, queer – and (b) five gender identities – female, male, cisgender, transgender/trans, and gender queer/gender fluid – which introduces them to alternate lifestyles.

Family is redefined in FLASH Lesson 2 for grades 4-6 as “two or more people who love and take care of each other. Usually they are related and/or live together. Families come in all shapes, sizes and descriptions.” Those statements reveal the central feature of FLASH.

Family is deconstructed by FLASH via That’s a Family, a video shown December 19, 2000 at the Clinton White House to the Girl Scouts of America, YWCA and National PTA. After that, the PTA, reportedly, decided to insert the video into a new “accepting differences” program.
