Sex Education in NYC Schools Becomes Mandatory
Despite all evidence to the contrary, school officials still insist "comprehensive" sex education works, including teaching 11 year olds how to use a condom.  There was no consideration whatsoever for the parents' authority to raise their own children as they see fit, since they cannot opt out of the program.  This flies in the face of established Supreme Court precedent, let alone every standard of decency and morality.  Read here ...

NOTE:  Every day, the vast majority of our children attend government schools, financed by confiscated taxes, ruled by leftist administrators, where they are taught state-sponsored lies, from a revisionist and globalist curriculum, by members of a socialist union, in a controlled environment of political correctness.  And then we expect to pass the torch of liberty on to this next generation?  It’s not going to happen without radical change.  The wings of liberty do not run on automatic pilot!
