If you have children, grandchildren, or just know any kids...you must READ (!!!) You're Teaching My Child What? A Physician Exposes the Lies of Sex Education and How They Harm Your Child by Miriam Grossman, M.D. While reading this book I alternated between nausea, feeling my blood run cold, to utter rage at the attempts to corrupt our children.
First, parents need to understand the sex education happening in today's schools "is not about health - it's a social movement..." While information presented in many schools is inaccurate, misleading and dangerous (explained in depth in the book) the information at the websites kids are being directed to by these sex-education lesson plans (and some teachers) will make you sick! Am I the only one who thinks it is ironic how much money our government (at all levels) spend to reduce child obesity, prevent children from smoking, taking drugs, drinking, how to drive safely, and even warn about the dangers of tanning beds (I could go on), but when it comes to sex the "experts" tell us parents that kids are going to have sex no matter what, so let's just get them the facts (and condoms)...except these "experts" aren't' giving our children the "facts" they are promoting their corrupt vision of sexuality. Further, parents are expected to teach about all of these dangers (smoking, tanning beds, etc.), but when it comes to sex, parents are told by the "experts" not to impose our values, don't interfere with our teen's decisions, allow them to decide when they are "ready," give them privacy, etc.
Dr. Grossman begins the book with a little history of where the radical ideas about sexuality come from and introduces the biggest advocates for this corrupt ideology. She details much of the science not being shared in the school lesson plans and even has chapters devoted to homosexuality and gender confusion. She wraps up with suggestions on what parents can do. Also, at the end of the book is a chart showing the sex education mandates by state.
Now, about some of the science Dr. Grossman shares with us. The book goes in depth about the science which has confirmed there are more than just a "few" differences between girls and boys (gasp...that is so un-P.C.). Such as:
- There is a "unique female cocktail of estrogen, progesterone and oxytocin" which bathes the female brain, influencing perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and dreams. Oxytocin is also called "The Cuddle Hormone." Intimacy (touch & cuddling-not necessarily sex) fuels a women's oxytocin level, which lights up the reward center of her brain, causing her to feel exhilarated. These levels of oxytocin "turn on" attachment parts of the brain and "turn off" critical thinking, making judgment difficult. The advice being "Don't let a guy hug you (a serious embrace at lease 20 seconds) unless you plan to trust him." Science indicates that from infancy we have a biological need to form intense, lasting attachments and cuddling with someone or having sex sends silent signals to our brain with the message: "Now I'm with someone special. I can relax and trust this person. I can love him or her."
- Women exposed to male pheromones affects female mood, attention and ovulation.
- Women exposed to female pheromones alters the timing of ovulation
- Frequent exposure to her biological father's pheromones delays the sexual maturation of a daughter.
- Surges of testosterone "marinate...boy's brains" making "sexual pursuit and body parts" obsessions.
- The brain maturation, for both boys and girls, does not end in early childhood; it simply pauses for some years, only to restart with vigor at the onset of puberty. The adolescent brain functions differently from adults. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the last to mature; as late as the third decade of life. This inability to control behavior and emotions contribute to rates of death, disability and health problems of teens which are 200-300 per cent higher than in children.
- The cervix of girls, which plays a central role in female sexual health, is immature, only about one layer thick (allowing penetration of germs, etc).
- The Y chromosome is teeming with units of DNA that are unique to males. There are distinct male and female blueprints created from the moment of conception. Eight weeks after conception, a fetus has a "boy-brain" or "girl-brain."
Part of the "facts" the school sex lesson plans share is the importance of using condoms. However, they fail to give all the facts. Facts such as:
- With typical use (not perfect use...know anyone perfect?) condoms prevent pregnancy only 85% of the time. Teens use can be expected to be even less than "typical."
- At best condoms protect against HIV only 80% of the time with vaginal intercourse. Less with anal sex since they are more likely to break/tear.
- Condom use reduces the risk of infection only 26% of the time against Chlamydia; 62% of the time against gonorrhea; 25-50% of the time against genital herpes.
- Condom use has little or no effectiveness in preventing the transmission of HPV.
- HPV, herpes and syphilis can live on the skin surrounding the genital area - areas a condom doesn't cover.
- Having more than five oral-sex partners increases a person's risk of having oral cancer by 250%.
Parents, read this book! The children in your life will not get this information any where else.
