ORANGE COUNTY, California, April 19, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – California is about to implement new abortion- and homosexuality-promoting sex education lessons, and one school district has told parents they have no choice but to expose their children to them.
California enacted the California Healthy Youth Act in 2015, but only now are its controversial provisions starting to take effect in classrooms. Under the auspices of health, the law says it will equip students to develop “healthy attitudes” on “gender [and] sexual orientation,” among other things. It also says it will inform students about the “effectiveness and safety of all FDA-approved contraceptive methods,” and facilitate “objective discussion” about “parenting, adoption, and abortion.”
RedState contributor Kira Davis, a resident of Orange County, California, warns that among the teaching materials approved for use under this law are a study guide for the transgender children’s book I Am Jazz, as well as a “sexual health toolkit.”
This “toolkit,” funded in part by the George Soros-connected Tides Center, offers kids tips on using sex toys and anal lubricant. It defines “anal intercourse,” “phone sex,” and more as “common sexual behaviors.” It teaches that “abstinence” and “virginity” can mean engaging in a variety of sexual activities, but stopping short of intercourse.
“What if you don’t have time or money to buy sex toys?” the guide asks on page C-51. “Cucumbers, carrots, and bananas (with the peel) make great dildos. Just remember to use a condom!”
It teaches that one of the “cons” of abstaining from all sexual activity is that it “requires motivation, self-control and communication from both partners.”
The “toolkit” lists as resources Planned Parenthood and the radically pro-homosexual and pro-abortion group Advocates for Youth.
The law also mandates that lessons and materials “affirmatively recognize” varying sexual orientations, and that they “be inclusive of same-sex relationships.” Instruction must take a positive view of gender confusion, and explore “the harm of negative gender stereotypes.”
Davis notes that the California Healthy Youth Act expressly protects parents’ rights to “excuse their children from participation” in sex education courses without penalty of any kind, because “parents and guardians have the ultimate responsibility for imparting values regarding human sexuality to their children.”
The Orange County school district apparently interprets this differently.
In a memo dated March 29 to the Orange County Board of Education, Orange County Department of Education general counsel Ronald Wenkart says that the law’s opt-out provision “does not apply to instruction, materials, or programming that discusses gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, relationships, or family and does not discuss human reproductive organs.”
Parents who disagree with the state’s LGBT positions “may not excuse their children from this instruction,” Wenkart continues. He then suggests that parents still having the right to “advise their children that they disagree with” such lessons compensates for this restriction.
He also cites judicial precedent to claim that “parents do not have a constitutional right to excuse their children from portions of the school curriculum that they find objectionable.”
Heidi St. John, an author and speaker who covers faith, motherhood, and homeschooling as The Busy Mom, forcefully spoke out Wednesday against the memo.
“The Orange County Department of Education feels it is their right to GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DISAGREE WITH THEM,” she wrote on Facebook. “These are our children! They do not belong to the schools.”
St. John advises California parents to contact their local school boards and Democratic Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, the law’s author, and to pull their children out of schools that force LGBT lessons on children.
She also urges parents to participate in the Sex Ed Sit Out on April 23, an event spanning the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia in which parents pull their children out of school for the day in protest of radical sex education programs.
RedState’s Davis has similar advice.
“Make noise. Lots and lots and lots of noise,” she writes. “When [lawmakers’] constituents get cranky, they pay attention…and so few people actually call and write anymore that just a few hundred voices go a very long way to making your representative and governor think twice about proceeding with something that seems unpopular.”
Davis also stresses that parents who pull their children out ensure the school does not record it as an excused absence.
“The reason your public school demands you call to excuse a child’s absence is because they lose state and federal dollars on every unexcused absence,” she writes. “If you really want to make an impact, hit them where it hurts.”

The time is coming when you will not be allowed to home school your child.
These people are sick. Communists have full control over our schools and colleges… Chip
Mary C..
I remember when it was Quasi illegal to home school back in the 50’s. Only because I heard my parents talking to the neighbors about a family down the road.
Oh it was a big joke in the 80’s. “Where did they get their diploma from? The Highschool of Mom? Hahaha.”
Then we began to notice that they got higher SAT and ACT scores than public and even private school kids and they did better in college. It wasn’t funny anymore.
Mary C..
Right you are. My oldest sisters kids graduated from Princeton N.J. High which was rated #2 in the country in the early 70’s and they were functionally illiterate. They were also being taught that new math stuff.
My neighbor (if you call a half mile away a neighbor and around here, we do) has three homeschooled kids, 17, 12, and 10. All three are well mannered, incredibly conversant for children and, if asked, they will tell you their opinion.
Is why Austin got the 20 dollar tip for helping me trim the goat hooves the other day… NOT because he is obviously skilled and capable and worth the thirty bucks he asked for… because he came when I asked and understood when I told him my husband had kept these goats alive all winter and I was not going to criticize him for letting Bessie’s feet get wet.
He did the best he could. Austin nodded and said “he did a good job, but I could help you get them into the woods.”
He’s a sharp young man.
Austin already works full time putting cellulose insulation in barns around here. He probably makes more money than most adults around here. (Of course, that’s NOT saying a lot. I think the average income here is less than 20,000 a year. Really.)
AxIOM NUBER 1.
You are a blank slate.
Axiom 2
Egalatrianism is best for all.
Your gender is determined by social norms and not biology.
Yes absurd. But this is the left’s programming. I snuck into their Temple and stole the secrets of the cult.

Here is food for thought, especially for those who support “public education” and rally about the doctrine of “socialization” that they claim is lacking in “homeschooled” children.
Let’s look at what “public education” has to offer:
1. Cliques and rampant bullying, quite often the victims of bullying are punished more harshly for fighting back. Many times, bullies are part of a “protected” class–racial minorities, jocks, etc. There is strong official disapproval of students making friends outside their grade level. “Peer pressure” is used to push conformity.
2. Teachers that don’t teach reading writing and arithmetic. Pushing communist principles such as rabid environmentalism, blaming humanity for conditions beyond our control as well as pushing “communitarianism” (“it takes a village”)–actually communism. This also ties in with teacher-recommended feminizing and drugging (mostly boys) to make them “less fidgety” and more compliant–all for the “benefit” of the teacher.
3. Non-existent moral guidance…the communist concept of “values clarification”, allowing each student to set his own moral standard with no discussion permitted as to guidelines. A student dare not mention God or the Bible in “public school”–not permitted…discussing Islam and Judaism is OK…even field trips to mosques and synagogues are encouraged.
4. Sex education that normalizes homosexuality, transgenderism and other deviant practices, actually encouraging deviant behavior and downplaying and marginalizing heterosexuality and abstinence.
5. Insane zero tolerance practices, punishing students for pop-tarts shaped like guns or a student having an “unauthorized aspirin” or plastic butter knife. Of course, abortions and birth control are available without parental notification.
6. Lockdowns and backpack/locker searches by police utilizing “drug dogs”, getting the upcoming generation used to random unconstitutional searches. Quite often, students are “roughed up” by “school resource officers”…just because they can…Lockdowns should be reserved for prisons–not schools…
Since these “socialization” practices seem to be the norm in our “public education” systems, parents who send their children to these dysfunctional “indoctrination centers” are guilty of child abuse…
Children who are homeschooled actually do much better in life as they are comfortable with people of all ages. True socialization takes place outside the classroom.
Public schools are there to indoctrinate, not educate. The ‘teachers’ in those schools have also been indoctrinated and are full on Marxists although they would proudly call themselves Progressive and Liberal rather than Marxist. There’s nothing quite like teaching seven year olds the joys of anal sex to fulfil the promise of higher education. There’s nothing like teaching children that homosexuality is normal and homosexual sex acts are the preferred way to engage in sex and that abortion is just fine and doesn’t really kill a baby.
Then again. why in Hell are children being taught about perverse sex at such an early age, shouldn’t reading and writing and math hold sway?
Nice rant.
I hate the words “public education”. It sounds so nice, and safe to most people.
Let’s tell the truth, rather than rely on a euphemism. It’s GOVERNMENT SCHOOL or, Government Indoctrination Center. Sounds much more ominous …. and truthful.
Good point!
It’s not public education; rather PUBLIC education.
Slight difference there and ties directly into my comment below about who owns us.
Words and how they are defined are so very important.

Here’s an excerpt:
Incredible, Plato…
GCP,
This is why some refer to what we are living through as a global game of hot potato within the currency wars race to the bottom….
All the hot potatoes are FRNs that we pass around and buy stuff with in this rigged casino called an economy until one day the owners call in and exchange their chips for something else and we are stuck with all the worthless chips and the debts racked up in our names attached to our STRAWMANs are LIQUIDATED a la what happened to Germany and much of Europe in World War II.
Nice rosy picture of our future, I know…for many it’s just too much gloom to entertain. The public indoctrination centers have done a number on most Citizens of every generation.
I remember when our grade school teachers used to tell us those awful Commies used to make Mommy work in a factory and the State sent toddlers to indoctrination all day. I don’t remember hearing about them turning them into Dyke’s, Fairies and Hermorphadytes.
Hermorphadytes
HaHa!
Hermorphadikes
I think that would be Hermorphradykes. be careful anon, both EC and Mary C are watching. Both notorious spelling Nazis.
The older I get the worser I spell.
Worster.
Note the names of all such school officials for future tribunals, with swift and harsh punishment to follow. There is no such thing as “LGBT”. These people are perverts, degenerates and mentally ill, full stop. When the country finally descends into chaos and breaks up, in the sane parts of the country these bastards will be frog-marched before a courts martial and flogged to ribbons.
Why wait?
In the past, the whole intent of public education was to prepare kids for the world of work. It was also admittedly designed to keep kids out of the labor force. Even now, they still warn you about that all-powerful high school diploma whether you have a college degree or not. This business about teaching kids values in public school was skirted in grade school, you had to go to a parochial school to get that education. However, in the 90’s kids began to learn about alternative lifestyles.
EC- Public edumacation is working well to prepare today’s students for the world of work, I’ve had two black male trannies (scary as shit looking) while going through drive-thrus for coffee in the last two weeks. I SERIOUSLY threw away one beverage because I could not drink anything from a cup that guy (?) had touched.
It’s not a race war, it’s a war on an entire generation’s beliefs. It’s a war between Boomers and Gen X, damn deviates. We should not have let MTV raise these latchkey kids.
EL- I only mentioned the fact that they were black for VISUAL effect, not that I think it is a race war.
E.C.
Nope, it’s a war between the Baby Boomers and Millenials…
Gen X is the Lost generation….due to our place within the generational evolution in this 4th turning, we have been forgotten and placed into irrelevancy
BL…
Shame on you. You should have been glad to take one for the team. You don’t want us to have to drink from it do you?
Flea- Next time,you can ride shotgun and I’ll wear rubber gloves and pass it to you so YOU can take one for the team. That creature scared the shit out of me and I DON’T SCARE EASILY.
BL..
They are scary. I remember 40 years ago when on the rare encounter with one, how they were just poor creatures to be pitied. I never for a moment thought it would become so pervasive.
I had an encounter with one at a Phoenix Walmart. I went in for an oil change and the dude had mascara on. I skipped the lube job. Flea, if you are interested in the lube job, it’s the Walmart on Camelback by the 17.
EC.
Oh thats right, You don’t like lube. What were you doing out of east LA. Tired of mexican trannies?
Dude, it was a joke. You keep messing with me and I will spell check the fuck out of all your comments.
Ec.
And I was only kidding about you being a spelling Nazi. chill out you oversensitive Chicano. Everything is not an assault on you manhood.
I had one at the workplace 10 years ago. Was in his 50’s with 2 younger kids when he went for it. Started out dressing his wife at the Christmas parties. Would come into work with leopard mini-skirts and shit. The women there couldn’t dress like that, but HR gave him a pass when reported.
I think I just barfed my lunch a little…
“Mr. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me. Aren’t you?”
A true Trans former!
I call em, Decepticons!
Definitely “more than meets the eye!”
I’m not sure what the purpose of morality is, but I know it is on the good side of good vs evil, and on the survival side of life vs death. As usual, the left goes too far, encouraging extreme variations of normal and redefining them as normal. Evil wraps itself in the cloak of good, but it can hide for only so long before, as in this case, exposes itself to innocent little children.
This is what happens when Christians shun politics. Shame on people like John MacArthur and Greg Laurie who say that if we just preach The Gospel everything will turn out right. Greg and John, ITS NOT TURNING OUT RIGHT!!!!!!!
What gospel are they preaching?
GCP- Does anyone still preach the gospel like we heard back in the day? If you preached the words in the Good Book, would it be a hate crime?
Honestly, I don’t give a damn what men call the gospel I preach. It is Paul’s gospel; the gospel of grace hid in God since before the foundation of the world. The preaching of Jesus Christ according to the mystery revealed to Paul.
The majority of religionists hate it in favor of their own “good works”.
If it’s a hate crime to say…
Romans 5:8 KJB… “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
…then I am guilty as charged.
When will people finally realize that they do NOT OWN THEIR OWN CHILDREN!?
The STATE does!
This inconvenient BIG LIE is such a large pill to swallow that most think it is hyperbole.
JOHN AND JANE Q PUBLIC, thanks to the registering of the natural person into the Beast system via the “BIRTH CERTIFICATE” created the fictitious business name aka the corporate STRAWMAN which ties our natural person to this system which owns each of us.
Plato- You are a man of few words…….
Bea, Plato and Yokes are Gen Xers, they are more used to playing alone. They don’t really have any social skills, their playmates were Ken and Barbie, Madonna was their nanny. Mom and Dad were these kind grownups who came by on weekends to fill their food bowl. It’s quite tragic. Yokes is still searching for a mother-figure in a certain former healthcare worker.
You bad.
EC- Why are you picking on me?? I relate a tranny experience and you start bitchin’. Are you a champion of the trannies? Did I touch a nerve or hurt some feewings? Was Corporal Klinger your favorite MASH character?
Calling ME a Gen-Xer is a really a low blow El…..sheesh!
That does sound like you were on the list. Actually I was replying to you to say that two individuals are Gen Xers. Sorry for the error. Your cool!
His cool WHAT?
E.C.
Whatever bruh,
I’m as cool as the other side of the pillow!
I was actually asked for the number yesterday and it had been so long since I’d been asked, I had to think about it. What a relief to realize after 30 plus years in the military industrial complex, it didn’t just pop into mind automatically.
I saw him sing this in St. Louis. Worked my way up to the second row with a bottle of sloe gin I’d carried inside my bra, which had a bit of room then. I swear he sang We’ve Got Tonight to me and if it had not been for all those damn security guards around the stage….
I do not like long hair on men. I liked his.
I was seventeen.
If even 10% of all parents pulled their children from the government monopoly day prison system, it would have a hard time sustaining itself and justifying itself. If 25% did, its end would be around the corner. Why do parents continue to willingly send their kids into an environment like this? It may be starting in CA, but it will become the very same problem nationwide shortly. That is always how it works.
Liberty- In the south, poor whites, blacks and Mexicans attend public schools while a large number of whites either home school or send their children to Christian private school. I would not be surprised if 20% of southern parents do send their children to private school.
If you don’t send the little darlings to their assigned indoctrination center, the government will put you in jail, so maybe that is why folks don’t revolt. There would have to be mass unity like the French yellow vest movement to boycott these institutions of non-learning to get anything turned around.
These three kids over the hillside from me who are homeschooled are three of the “best” kids I’ve ever seen. And I taught Sunday School at a megachurch off I-240 in OKC for three years. Although, the kids who were homeschooled or attended THAT Christian school tended to be pretty good too.
But, these kids here? They can shoot and gut a deer, show me where Sassafras root (want painkiller?) is when there are NO LEAVES on the tree, and they clean up good on Sunday and will be singing with their Momma at church.
It isn’t that the other kids around here aren’t good kids with potential. They just don’t have a mother and father like these three kids do.
There is only one Teacher.
That’s right Maggie! You can’t get learnin’ like that at no goobermint school. The things humans need to know are taught out on the land, not in a building.
And, by REAL parents. Not plasticized or botoxed ones.
Want me to tell you a story or two? Well, I will tell you where you can see one or a hundred of them. Haha… another time.
Lib, ever wonder what the motive behind “free” all day kindergarten is all about? The queer governor of Colorado recently made that a reality with his signature.
Mr. Liberty,
I do believe if enough parenrs gor rogether and worked together and pulled their kids out simultaneously or perhaps picked several weeks where rheir kids stayed home…rhe wheels would start to come off, especially considering in most towns the local school districts are the largest employers now.
Wouldn’t that be a sight to see!
Ronald Wenkart, the one behind the memo, has apparently left the Orange County school system.
Oy vey! His payoff:

Replaced by a guy named Jeffrey Riel.
Best advice. Ever.
Hey Stuck!
What do they do if they can’t afford private school or can’t home school? It’s easy to say, “pull them out of school”.
BL,
Great point! Thanks to the hidden tax and offshoring jobs most households have to have 2 breadwinners now. Makes it awfully hard for those parents who have considered homeschooling their children if both of you have to work.
A 10.2 will cure 1/2 this country’s problems.
You California fuckers need to start beating the shit out of the folks in charge of your Dept of Education. At least doxx them, so the Red Citizenry can cause them to live in perpetual fear.
Starbucks is going to install needle disposal boxes nation wide.
I guess we really have lost our minds.
This is a parody okay.This is not really happening,cheers Crippsy
