MA schools are sexualizing students through the use of comprehensive sexuality education curriculum currently being taught in health class.
MFI believes that the best place for youth to learn about sex is in the home, within the context of a loving and trusting parent-child relationship.
Parents are the primary teachers of their children and as such, they are uniquely qualified to provide the moral framework needed for healthy sex education.
In our hyper-sexualized culture, students receive many negative messages about sex.
Meaningful conversations with parents are the most effective way to counteract these destructive messages and to equip and empower young people to remain abstinent until marriage.
We do acknowledge that not every student has the support they need at home and some students might benefit from biologically based sex education in school. Research has shown that Sexual Risk Avoidance (SRA) programs produce the best outcomes by encouraging youth to avoid risky behaviors that lead to emotional, physical, and spiritual harm. SRA programs emphasize developing healthy relationships and delaying sexual activity until marriage, communicating the clear message that sexual delay is the only 100% effective way to avoid pregnancy, STIs and other negative consequences of teen sex.
What Sex Ed Curriculum is Being Used in Your District?
Resources being used in MA schools to teach sex ed are evaluated to see whether they contain the following harmful elements:
- Sexualizes children
- Promotes diverse sexualities
- Promotes transgenderism
- Promotes abortion
- Undermines parents or parental rights
Search your school district on our interactive Sex Ed Map:
Gathering information from around the state is an ongoing project. Use this sample email to request information from your district. If you already know what curriculum is in use in your district, but do not see it included on this map, or if you receive a response from a request sent to your district, please contact Mary Ellen Siegler.
So NOW what?
Unfortunately, instead of implementing a healthy SRA approach to sex ed in our public schools, our state legislature, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), Planned Parenthood, and others are pushing to mandate a much different approach to sex ed through the use of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) curriculum. CSE is a specific type of graphic sexuality education that promotes sexual rights for children and serves as a how-to manual, encouraging teens to become sexually active.
In fact, nearly 1 in 4 teens who receive this type of sex ed say that it makes them feel like having sex is an expectation. Equally concerning is that CSE is designed to change the sexual and gender norms of society by promoting diverse sexualities and perpetuating the dangerous transgender trend affecting our youth.

Join 1,000s of Bay State parents who want to stay informed about issues related to sex education in MA schools. Become a member of the Massachusetts Informed Parents Facebook group, equipping parents, protecting kids.
Massachusetts Informed Parents | Facebook
In an effort to mobilize a grassroots movement of parents and concerned citizens to sound the alarm about the implementation of CSE in our schools and to push back against the loss of local control over educational decisions, the Massachusetts Informed Parents (MIP) initiative was launched in the fall of 2019 as an outreach of MFI. MIP endeavors to equip parents to protect their kids through the sharing of relevant information, including articles, research, and exhibits from the curriculum, and by providing tools and strategies for helping parents to effect change in their local communities. MIP is growing a large coalition of parents and faith and community leaders by leveraging the power of social media and by fostering one on one relationships through parent forums being held across the state. To stay informed on issues related to sex education and for updates on the Sex-Ed Mandate legislation, join the MIP group on FB. Contact Mary Ellen Siegler if you would like to schedule a parent forum for your church or community group.

Surveys in Schools 101 – Parents Defending Education

Schools are increasingly sacrificing time spent on academic subjects to accommodat…❎ ❎ ❎ IS YOUR CHILD BEING REQUIRED TO TAKE AN IMPLICIT BIAS COURSE AND SIGN A DEI PLEDGE IN ORDER TO PLAY SPORTS IN SCHOOL?
👉 Read this very important blog post from Massachusetts Family Institute. Your child cannot be forced to take this course or sign the DEI pledge as a condition to participate in sports.
🧐 For complete information regarding what is included in the course and the pledge read the blogpost linked in the comments below.
From MFI:
After repeated efforts to contact the MIAA’s President, Executive and Associate Executive Directors, and DEI Liaison, to discuss its pilot program, MFI eventually reached the MIAA’s legal counsel, Stoneman, Chandler & Miller, LLP. In response to MFI’s request for clarification as to whether coaches and/or student-athletes are required to take the course and/or sign the DEI Pledge in order to participate in MIAA sponsored activities, the MIAA’s attorney stated: **“At this time, there are no consequences from the MIAA for failure to take the pledge or the course.”
**Based on the MIAA’s counsel’s acknowledgement, no coach or student-athlete can be compelled by the MIAA to take the Implicit Bias Course or sign the DEI Pledge in order to participate in MIAA sponsored activities and shall suffer no consequences from the MIAA for refusing to do so. This is an important clarification obtained by MFI and should provide coaches, student-athletes, and students’ parents with some relief from the onerous nature of the MIAA’s DEI agenda. “I’m glad to see that the MIAA is not enforcing this policy, which amounted to an unlawful imposition of compelled speech on student athletes and coaches,” commented Beckwith. “It’s unfortunate that they allowed this confusion to linger for the past five months.”

Still required in Peabody I could not register my son without signing that we did it and agree with the pledge . There was no way to skip over it on the online registration form .
I know it was required last year in Lynnfield but I believe this year is just the pledge not the Implicit bias course. I have yet to fill it out but any suggestions of how to handle it if we can’t get past it on the form?
Good! DEI is racist and a Trojan horse for CRT.
It is also in Shrewsbury to register for sports, meaning the pledge, not the course
Yes!!! Last year too!!!! I "did it" for my daughter. She NEVER even saw it. It was BULLSHIT
Dei needs to be a eliminated completely from our society. It lowers the bar and pushes a forced diversity agenda that weakens all companies schools and institutions. It is a way for the terrorist racist dems to implement socialism into every aspect of our culture. Remove every terrorist racist dem out of our separation of powers and education system immediately
No way would my child be signing anything. I’d let them take the course because they wouldn’t take it seriously anyway.
It was the required in Oxford ma for this fall as well, but I contacted the athletic director and provided him MFI's and MIAA statements and he added a button on the online form to allow us to decline. He said he had not heard anything from MIAA that it was not mandatory. But was accommodating once he was made aware. People just need to politely speak up.
If it is required on Family ID in the signature section write Opt out do not sign
I’ve heard from parents that their kids had to take it and provide proof they passed it to participate in sports. I’ve also seen some of the tests and I found it unfortunately terribly racist. Depending on how the coach introduced the program or what they say about it then yes there will l be negative consequences of discrimination for not taking it judgments and teasing and who knows what else but especially pressure and guilt.

On family id, it’s required to sign in Bellingham, however we don’t necessarily have to take the course, just sign it
It is important for parents to know that school districts cannot force students / parents to sign this pledge as a requirement to play school sports. If you are a parent and want help refusing to sign this pledge, please email me at massinformedparents@gmail.com.
