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.
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.
Currently in the Commonwealth, teaching sex ed is at the discretion of local school districts and those that do choose to teach it have full control over what curriculum they use. If our legislators and Planned Parenthood have their way though, local control will be taken away and put into the hands of bureaucrats. The Sex-Ed Mandate, SB 2459 and HB 410, give full authority to DESE to dictate the use of only CSE curriculum for those districts who decide to include sex ed in their health lessons. The MA State Senate passed this legislation with a 33-2 vote on January 16, 2020. The House version of the bill has not yet been brought for a vote.
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.

Parents, you have rights.
Is transgender ideology being taught in your child’s classroom? Does your school district have policies around this ideology that are bringing harm to your child and infringing upon your parental rights?
Find out, and if so, fight back. If you don’t protect your kids, who will?
Michael New is an expert in the national pro-life movement. He makes a very astute observation regarding sex education and abortion and unintended pregnancy rates.
"Contrary to the common conceptions that comprehensive sex education and contraception lead to less unintended pregnancies, and therefore fewer abortions, New referred back to the data which, he said, told a different story."
"The problem with arguments crediting sex education is that while there has been a consistent decline in the abortion rate since 1980, the unintended pregnancy rate has fluctuated," New said.
"If sex education or contraception programs were driving reductions in abortion rates, one would expect to see a consistent decline in the unintended pregnancy rate," he continued.
HHS research reveals that "Evidence-Based" Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs (TPP) aren’t showing much evidence of effectiveness. More than 90% of all federal sex ed funding goes to toward TPP or Comprehensive Sexuality Education. More than 80% of students in these programs fared either worse or no better than their peers who were not in the program. 3 programs put youth at MORE risk for sexual initiation, PREGNANCY, and oral sex.

Is that why Planned Parenthood has a sex education module they are trying to get into schools that teaches how to be sexually active?
This doesn't even take into account the STD epidemic and the infertility caused by it. As of 2011, CDC was reporting 22k American women discovered every year they were infertile due to undiagnosed and untreated STD.

The mission of Partners for Ethical Care is to raise awareness and support efforts to stop the unethical treatment of children by schools, hospitals, and mental and medical healthcare providers under the duplicitous banner of *gender identity affirmation*.
Transgender ideology being taught in our schools is victimizing youth. Parents need to join together and demand that their school district stop any and all harmful and unscientific transgender lessons.
Be equipped to protect your kids!

‼️‼️ Look at this court ruling out of the UK today! ‼️‼️
No more transgender treatments for minors under 16. Now, let’s do the same here in the US.
We must also stop all transgender lessons in schools that are indoctrinating children and putting them on the path to harmful medical transition.
As always, thank you Brandon Showalter for your excellent reporting and for your tireless advocacy to protect children from dangerous transgender treatments.
From the article:
A U.K. high court on Tuesday ruled against the Tavistock clinic, the NHS’ sole gender clinic, in favor of a detransitioner who said she was harmed by puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones prescribed to her when she was a teenager.
In a much-awaited [ruling](www.judiciary.uk/judgments/r-on-the-application-of-quincy-bell-and-a-v-tavistock-and-portman-nhs-…), the case of 23-year-old Keira Bell reached its conclusion when the judges ruled that children younger than 16 lack the maturity to give informed consent to the experimental treatments that alter the body.
Bell claimed in the suit that the gender-transition drugs irreparably damaged her body and have likely made her sterile. While she opted to undergo a gender transition, in her witness statement Bell said she made a "brash decision" as a teenager in an attempt to find confidence and happiness and did not understand the risks or long-term repercussions. Her attorneys argued in October that no child in the midst of puberty is able to give adequate informed consent.
In a [statement](www.transgendertrend.com/keira-bell-high-court-historic-judgment-protect-vulnerable-children/) on its website Tuesday, the trans-critical group TransgenderTrend called the ruling a "watershed moment" and a "damning indictment of clinical practice" at the Tavistock facility, and urged the government to move in other areas to lessen the influence of the ideology that led Bell and others down a pathway of permanent medical harm.
"On the basis of the landmark judgment handed down in court today, the government needs to take action to remove all transgender guidance and resources from schools and social services departments to safeguard children and prevent any further teaching of this ideology to children as ‘fact,’" the group said, noting that the root of gender ideology is the denial of biological sex.
"This case has shone a light on the worst and most unforgivable result of the institutional capture throughout society by the gender lobby: the medical experiment on children’s healthy bodies, with serious irreversible and lifelong consequences."

This shouldn’t be allowed especially without parents permission. If we let kids choose they would eat nothing but chicken nuggets pizza and sweets and stay up all night.
