Proposed Curriculum Changes to Washoe County Sex Ed Curriculum 

Much of the newly proposed curriculum is put forth by a radical activist group called Advocates for Youth. Advocates for youth are strong supporters of Planned Parenthood and all other extreme liberal social ideology. The curriculum is lengthy, and there is a link to text at the bottom of the page.
Some of the “highlights,” are:

• References to Planned Parenthood as a resource for students.

• “Birth control basics,” including “emergency contraception” which is the “morning after pill” (also known as an early chemical abortion).

• Condom use demonstrations.

• Lists the drug stores where the morning after pill can “easily” be obtained, without parental knowledge or consent.

• Encourages students to approach adults other than their parents to discuss these controversial topics the curriculum covers.

• Claims that abstinence does fail, then goes on to say because sometimes you don’t stay abstinent. (If you’re not abstinent, that’s not abstinence failing)

• Promotes the “Gender-Bread” person, a figure used to promote the idea that gender isn’t binary, but rather a spectrum. Your biology don’t determine your gender but your feelings do.

A majority of the information provided in the curriculum is biased, skewed, and presented to promote one ideology. An ideology a majority of parents in Washoe County would oppose.

Our children should not be used by activist organizations like Planned Parenthood and Advocates for Youth.
