Citizens Journal Editorial
By Michael Hernandez
Planned Parenthood and others in the abortion industry have successfully pushed a “Sex Ed For All” curriculum that includes a “sex pleasure” agenda that has been embraced by public school districts in their desire to sexualize children and advocate for LGBT indoctrination. In fact, many social media sites are touting May as #SexEdForAll month on social media platforms.
Susan Berry of Breitbart, reported May 27th: “In February, the American Journal of Public Health published an article titled, “Pleasure and Sex Education: The Need for Broadening Both Content and Measurement,” by Leslie Kantor, Ph.D., chair of Rutgers’ Urban-Global Public Health Department and former vice president of education for Planned Parenthood, and Laura Lindberg, Ph.D., research scientist at the pro-abortion rights Guttmacher Institute. The authors asserted public health policy regarding sex ed should include “content related to sexual pleasure.”
Kantor and Lindberg praised the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) guidance that “suggests numerous learning objectives related to the topic of ‘friendship, love, and romantic relationships’” for children aged five to 18 years. The authors wrote UNESCO’s recommendations for children’s instruction include:
- Describe ways that human beings feel pleasure from physical contact (e.g. kissing, touching, caressing, sexual contact) throughout their life,” which is a learning objective for children aged 9 to 12 years;
- State that sexual feelings, fantasies and desires are natural and not shameful, and occur throughout life,” which is a learning objective for those aged 12 to 15 years;
- Understand that sexual stimulation involves physical and psychological aspects, and people respond in different ways, at different times,” which is a learning objective for those aged 12 to 15 years; and
- Engaging in sexual behaviors (for those 15 and older) should feel pleasurable and comes with associated responsibilities for one’s health and well-being.
“Pleasure-based” sex ed is now acknowledged as a primary goal of “medically accurate” education that includes the radical LGBTQ agenda.
While Rutgers and the Guttmacher Institute see the value of teaching young children about sexual pleasure, U.S. School districts need to rethink this agenda if they hope to re-see the 55 million American children that have been at home since the COVID-19 pandemic caused public schools to be shut down.
Parents now have seen first-hand a viable option—keep their children at home and begin learning by homeschooling.
Parents of children forced out of school have not been homeschooling but now parents have an opportunity to learn about this movement by participating in a “Learning To Homeschool” webinar planned next Thursday, from 3:30-5 p.m. Now is the time to register for this zoom class presented for the 30th straight year by Pastor Carl Broggi, of Community Bible Church in Beaufort, South Carolina. The majority of his congregation participates in homeschooling.

Co-founder Dran Reese, president of The Salt and Light Council, is spearheading public school exit because “government schools are seriously harming children through sexualization, indoctrination, and dumbing down.” She is joined by co-founder Lt. Col. E. Ray Moore, leader of Exodus Mandate and the Christian Education Initiative who has worked for decades to rescue children from “godless, pagan” government schools.
Also joining the public school exit movement is co-founder Alex Newman, educator and president of Liberty Sentinel who states: “Hopefully, when public schools start back up, they will have a lot less victims.” University professor Dr. Duke Pesta, who runs the online K12 Freedom Project Academy states “with the technology today, there are no more excuses for parents to send their children to public schools.”
Meanwhile, Former Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas calls “this part of a 100-year or 150-year battle for the souls of our children.”
