Parents Beware

You see that picture above?  That permission request is from an elementary school here in MS.  And not long after I investigated it, I found out that it's actually used in many school districts in MS. 

There are many concerning issues with this permission slip and the intentions in what they are asking. 

1.  In spite of parents' failure to provide and talk about sexuality, it is not the government's job to step in and take the place of parents.  When, we as citizens, allow the government to maintain the role of a parent, the government no longer cares about, exercises respect, nor governs with parental rights as the core of the law.  They take full advantage of parents' lack of parenting...and they do so willingly with much anticipation. 

2.  This permission slip is an exact example of the government's irresponsibility to the parents.  These 2 measly sentences requesting permission provides no information for parents to make an informed decision.  I fully believe this is done intentionally.  Don't ask, don't tell.  They know parents don't enough to ask probing questions such as the following:  Who pays for this? Where is the testing done?  Who does the testing?  Who has access to the results?  Are parents informed of when the testing will be done...before or after the testing?  Will parents be informed of the results?  Where are the records kept?  How long are they kept?  HIPPA laws vs FERPA laws?  What happens if the child tests positive?  Will he or she have to reveal his/her sexual partners and if so what about their privacy? 

This is the government taking full advantage of a situation that lacks knowledge.

3.  There are national sex ed standards that are being aggressively pushed.  Some states/school districts have already adopted them and have implemented them in grades as young as kindergarten.  I am convinced that the types of testing, as seen above, have a data collecting agenda to it.  I believe the data collected will be used to further push the national sex ed standards.  And MS could very well use this same data to get more grant money from the US Dept of Health. These grants dangle money in front of the states and districts, leaving education admins salivating so for the money, they are blinded to the strings attached.  Those strings....teaching the national sex ed standards.  You can find the standards on line.  I highly encourage you to research them to be aware.  oh, BTW, the 'standard committee' uses Planned Parenthood as one of their resources.  And their definition of abortion in the standard's glossary:  a procedure to end a pregnancy....that definition is agenda and indoctrination driven.  (but I digress.)

If parents do not start waking up to these issues, schools, especially here in MS, aren't going to be the innocent playgrounds where our children used to play, even less innocent than they already are.
