Quotes:

"Every child entering school at the age of 5 is mentally ill, because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, towards his belief in a supernatural being and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future."

Dr. Chevler M. Pierce, Psychiatrist, address to the Childhood International Education Seminar 1973.

" We are the biggest potential striking force in this country and we are determined to control the direction of education."

1972 - NEA President Catherine Barrett

Dear Friend of the Family:

United Families International received a large response and many questions
regarding our last email communication telling you about the new sex
education curriculum entitled *"It's All
One:<http://www.popcouncil.org/publications/books/2010_ItsAllOne.asp>
Guidelines and Activities for a Unified Approach to Sexuality, Gender HIV,
and Human Rights Education." * You can review that email alert
here<http://unitedfamilies.org/default.asp?contentID=437>
.

The number one question we received: * "What do I do to stop this from
getting into my child's school?" *Today we devote this alert to answering
that question. The short answer is: Become aware of what is being taught.
* *

*Here's What You Can Do*

1.     Contact your school district and ask to review the districts sex
education curriculum. It is often advisable to set up an actual appointment
time. You can contact your child's specific school, but you will get a
better overview of what's out there by going to the district level.

2.    Ask to see the program that will be presented at all grade levels.
Ask where the curriculum came from. What was the process for its
development? Who wrote it? Does it come from the state education
department or is it developed within district?   If possible, ask for a copy
or to borrow it.

3.    Also ask to review all "tolerance and diversity" programs and
curriculum as well. They are often a companion to the implementation of sex
education programs and can be equally dangerous and anti-family.

4.    Inquire about the district's "opt in" and "opt out" policies. Parents
need to understand their options.

5.    Explain your desire to be on a parental review committee for sex
education materials and curriculum. Follow through to ensure that you are
placed on the committee and then contacted at the appropriate time.

6.    Go home and read the curriculum - all of it - keeping in mind the
worldview and anti-family perspective that that they could be promoting. Go
here <http://unitedfamilies.org/default.asp?contentID=439> to see some
specific excerpts and page numbers pulled from the "It's All One
Curriculum."

7.    Go here
<http://topics.law.cornell.edu/wex/state_statutes2#education>and
read through your states laws and statutes regarding education and
curriculum (click on "education" link). Knowing what the law says is a
great asset.

8.    Share the information with extended family and friends. Warn your
neighbor and help them to get involved.

9.    If offending material(s) is found, gather like-minded parents and go
directly to your school board members and request a meeting. Meet and
explain the unacceptable nature of the curriculum being used. Ask the Board
Members what their plan of action is to remove it from the classroom. Then
be persistent.

10.    Be kind, respectful, and articulate. Have your facts. Trust
yourself. As a parent, you have a legal right to become involved in
curriculum decisions, monitor what your child is taught, and to use your
influence to have it removed or changed.

The most effective way to prevent this type of material from reaching your
child is to be involved in the beginning - during the curriculum selection
and decision-making process. Get involved!   *It sounds trite, but this is
one area where one person really can make a difference.*   Never forget that
public schools belong to you and to your community.

*Additional things to be aware of:*

1.     Do not trust the National Education Association
(NEA)<http://unitedfamiliesinternational.wordpress.com/2010/07/29/education-establishment-is-not-a-friend-of-the-family/>to
be an ally in this effort or for them to provide assistance to you.
In
fact, the NEA will probably be the first ones promoting this new curriculum
in your school. We direct you to a report
<http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2011/03/04/fistgate-goes-global-glsen-activist-promotes-masturbation-at-u-n-conference/>on
the position of the National Education Association. United Families
International representatives were in the room during the UN event in
February where this occurred and can vouch for its accuracy.

2.     Please be aware that most national and state Parent Teacher
Associations (PTA) are openly and actively supporting the homosexual agenda
- this trickles down to the local groups.   *(Please do not confuse the PTA
with the locally formed and operated parent/teacher groups that do amazing
and important work in our schools.)*

3.    Some districts have or are attempting to implement what they refer to
as "maturation programs." This curriculum is directed at students in the
elementary grades and should be closely reviewed for its content.   Those
who push radical "comprehensive" sex education are usually behind the
writing and promotion of these programs as well.   Don't let them sneak them
into your schools.   * *

*FOLLOW* the suggestions above; *FORWARD *this email on; *UNITE* local and
state efforts to secure that the values and morals which lift and build
society. Keep us informed as to what you are doing and let us help you.

Walt Disney is credited with saying that "Our greatest natural resource is
the minds of our children." By being involved in the curriculum our
children are being taught, we help preserve and protect that resource.
Parental rights in education are imperative. Never be hesitant to promote
and secure yours.
