I
was astonished recently when one of my stepdaughters arrived home from
public high school in Washington state with a red ribbon painted on her
cheek. Sex education in the schools – which conservatives have tried to
limit to abstinence-only – has now gone well beyond simple education.
Today's students are being coerced into promoting and acting out the
politically correct views taught them. It is being done so sneakily,
using the authoritative stamp of approval by the public schools, that
even my conservatively raised children were cajoled into participating.
There
was no way to pull your child out of the day-long event. The entire
school “celebrated” HIV/AIDs Awareness.” A student group formed to
educate other students about AIDs was responsible for putting on the
event, and took over the front part of the school with tables and
displays. On the tables were baskets of mint-flavored condoms, and
students working the tables encouraged others passing by to take them.
Every
few seconds, a loud gong would sound and someone would announce, “Every
12 seconds, someone is infected with AIDs, and every 16 seconds,
someone dies from AIDs.” The windows throughout the school were covered
with HIV/AIDs awareness messages and posters were plastered on the
walls. Almost every light throughout the hallways was turned off for
further dramatic effect. The main staircase inside the school was
covered with red ribbons. There was a giant wheel that students were
encouraged to spin in order to see what disease they would contract.
Students were lured into spinning it with the promise of a prize.
