In California, 700 parents showed up at a school board meeting to demand the school stop pushing sex on their kids.
There’s been something of an awakening happening in California recently. While the state’s faith community led the charge in shutting down the latest attempt to curb the free speech and religious rights of certain counselors and ministries, concerned parents are standing against the implementation of sex education curricula in the state that introduces children, as young as 11, to sexually explicit content.
The California legislature changed state law related to sexual health education to include LGBT issues, and sexual practices as part of statewide curriculum for K-12 graders in the state. The bill included a provision allowing parents to pull their child from their school’s sexual education class. Parents are taking advantage of this provision now and asking their school boards to implement policies that help them do just that.
Recently, about 700 parents showed up at the Chino Valley Board of Education meeting to demand the school district allow parents to opt out of K-12 sex education curricula. Concerned parents from varied ethnicities and backgrounds held signs reading “Let Parents Decide” and “Support Parents’ RIGHT TO DECIDE”.
Pastor Jack Hibbs with Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and about 40 other concerned citizens also spoke in favor of notifying parents when sexually explicit material is to be taught.
