NEA to UN: More Graphic Sex-Ed Needed

Perhaps you thought public school sex education programs are graphic enough as it is. Not so, according to a statement by the National Education Association's (NEA) Diane Schneider to a U.N. panel last week. According to a report by C-FAM, Schneider told the audience at a panel on combating homophobia and transphobia that “[o]ral sex, masturbation and orgasms need to be taught in education,” and that anyone opposing homosexuality is “stuck in a binary box that religion and family create.”

In other words, schools need to rescue children from “indoctrination” by their parents and religion, and the U.N. should see that they do. Schneider also “claimed that the idea of sex education remains an oxymoron if it is abstinence-based, or if students are still able to opt out,” the article states.

ParentalRights.org disagrees with the notion that schools know better than parents what is best for their children or what their children can handle. We disagree with the idea that schools should undo all the character building and value instilling that parents do at home. And we adamantly oppose the view that the United Nations should take a role in any of it. And we know you do, too.

What We’re Doing to Address This

The NEA can sway the U.N. more easily than they can persuade the American people. They know that if they establish something at the U.N., they can find progressivist judges who will uphold it here as “Customary International Law.” And they must hope to see us ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), thus obligating ourselves to uphold whatever standards in child education the U.N. might dictate.

But we are championing a resolution in the U.S. Senate to prevent CRC ratification. As of Friday it had 5 original co-sponsors, but we expect that number to be closer to 30 when the resolution is introduced in the next week or so. When we reach 34, any effort to ratify the CRC will effectively be killed.

Even more, the proposed Parental Rights Amendment will halt the use of international law in our court rooms as it pertains to children and family. The NEA’s end-around will be defeated; they won’t be able to impose their distorted views on our kids without first winning over the American public.

Action Items

First, please spread the word. Encourage friends and family to sign the petition at ParentalRights.org and join upcoming call blitzes to push these pieces of legislation.

Second, be prepared for a call blitz to the U.S. Senate as soon as the anti-CRC resolution is introduced. It could come as early as Friday (more likely next week), so be ready to call your Senators and urge them to stand up for American sovereignty, American families, and the health and welfare of American children by opposing CRC ratification.

Sincerely,
