Does Your School Use Planned Parenthood for Health/ Sex Ed Classes?

Can you do this at a private school? Honest question. At what point have parents "bought-in" and are required to go along with things like this, if they are at an independent school?

I’m sure gds pulls extensive materials and guest speakers from everywhere for its extensive sex Ed classes in Ms and freshman and sophomore year.
I think they also cover Healthy Relationships and communicating. Might be adding more to the managing mental disorders front; not just under Thinking Differently.
And of course the week of a consent education

Focus on the Family is not a healthcare provider. The ignorance on this thread is astounding.

PP, a “health care provider”? Sure. And so are the tobacco companies, big-pharma, and the fast food industry. Just because they cover their dirty money making business (ie abortions and fetus sales) with some “good-doer” stuff doesn’t mean they are innocent of corrupting our children with pro-trans BS and more. They also sell birth control pills to the girls who go there for abortions or other “routine health stuff”. It’s all a business and it’s disgusting that we finance it through our tax dollars. Also for all you die hard, pro-choice, anti-racist, devout progressives, how about you brush up on some history on Planned Parenthood before you go making bogus claims? PP was founded by a bunch of eugenics who believed in purifying the human race through abortions. It’s a big lobbying group that tried pushing abortions in the Cairo summit in the UN back in the 90s as a form of “birth control” (supported by the Clinton Admin), which received huge pushback worldwide. They have not stopped to take a breath since, and now they not only control our government but also your belief system. Sad. Democrats and pro-choice fanatics need to open a book from time to time. If they did, they would be appalled and ashamed of themselves for basing their judgements on pure arrogance and ignorance.

Yup, Racist “Planned Parenthood” is BIG corporate business out for blood money. Literally. Beware...

It is a well run and science based program that prevents teens from getting sexually transmitted diseases and/or pregnant. I was glad PPMW was teaching my kid these important facts well before they would be sexually active.
Much better than some teacher doing it with shoddy curriculum.

PPMW (pp metropolitan Washington) did a parent presentation at our school last year in which the presenters obviously and proactively avoided using the words “boys,” “girls,” “males,” “females,” etc. it was almost comical how they worked themselves into a knot to avoid using those apparently offensive words, when trying to describe a sex Ed class.

Agree with you OP. It’s ideology over science and if the school plans to bring them back again, I will speak up and oppose.

You can opt you kid out. Why oppose something other parents want?

Agree. I just think it’s important to recognize that most parents have no idea how radical PP has become

+1

I used to work for PPFA. I would have had no problem with them teaching my kids sex ed 20 years ago. But now? They make their money from selling trans hormones and have a very profit-focused pro-trans agenda. I do not want my daughters to be told that "men can menstruate too", or "some women have penises". I do not want them to be lectured about "birthing people", because we're not allowed to say "women" or "mothers" anymore.

If you're wondering why so many teenage girls are coming out as trans, this is why.

This 100%. People have no idea what’s going on.

It seems to me that agreeing to send one's kids to a private school does not confer permission to have them "educated" by an outside organization. Thoughts on that?

Equating PP with Focus on the Family in terms of sex ed is not honest debate. PP may have political biases, but it is at its core a healthcare provider. You may disagree with the type of healthcare it provides in terms of abortion or hormone therapies or whatever, but those a very small percentage of what PP does. FOTF, on the other hand, is an evangelical church, and provides exactly zero actual healthcare to anyone. If you want your kids to have “abstinence only” sex ed or that there is no such thing as gender fluidity, by all means teach them at home or in Sunday school.

A healthcare provider that makes money by selling hormones to gender-confused teenagers. I don’t want my kids getting sex Ed from a group that thinks men menstruate and women have penises. This is not your mother’s PP. No thank you.

OP here, and this is what I think is important. Again, we are new at this school this year, so not sure that this will be an issue, but was informed that in past years, it has been announced by the MS head (or someone there) that PP is giving this class to the middle schoolers, and this is so great because PP is a credible, trusted source of information on this kind of thing. My radar immediately went off because, as one poster noted, I don't think the organization is anything like it was 10- 15 years ago when we were all supportive of them. But I am concerned that other parents aren't aware of that and they just hear "Planned Parenthood" and have nostalgic thoughts about women's marches we all attended in the '90s. Or something like that!

If your kid is attending a school that brings in PP for sex ed instruction, and that is a huge concern for you, then my guess is you and the school have very different values and you may want your kid going elsewhere. Seems pretty simple.

FWIW I don't have any concerns about having my DD, who is in middle school, being taught sex ed by Planned Parenthood. That content is not going to be teaching her anything she hasn't already heard at home.

No, we do not have "very" different values with the school. That is absurd. I think many rational people do not like the idea of Planned Parenthood embracing a gender-neutral approach to teaching sex education. It's not science-based and obviously ideologically driven. My concern is that most parents are not aware of this slant.

Except if you go to one of the progressive DMV private schools, then you do have different values...at least different from what the administration is adopting and publicly espousing. Good luck raising the topic in any public way, but be prepared for you and your child to bear the wrath when you raise your hand. Others in fact may agree with you, but will not in a million years speak up about it.
