ALERT: Stop Pornographic Health Textbooks! TELL SBOE TO VOTE NO! In Texas, textbooks (instructional materials) are required to be “suitable for the subject and grade level for which the instructional material was submitted.” The books being considered for adoption are not suitable. In fact, they are pornographic. Since the State Board of Education cannot order publishers to delete or change content, it is imperative that the board vote NO on each of these books. Tell SBOE Members to VOTE NO on ALL of these health textbooks!
Why? Because each of these health books has inappropriate content including:***
Examples: *** Goodheart-Wilson Company -- high school Teachers are told to let students set ground rules for discussing sensitive topics, such as “What is discussed in class stays in class.” (Fig. E-10, p. ie 28) In other words, don’t tell parents. “Imagine that you have just tested positive for HIV. You also recently became involved in a new dating relationship with someone you really like. At what point do you share this personal information with your new dating partner? Working with another class member, take turns role-playing the conversation you would have with your new dating partner, using effective communication skills.” (p. 695) Human Kinetics – Grades 6 to 8 “The external female anatomy is called the vulva and consists of the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, and clitoris*, which is the responsive sexual organ and the equivalent of a male’s penis in regard to what happens to it when stimulated.” A full-color graphic shows female genitalia spread eagle, with each part* labeled. Terms with definitions that students are to learn are sexual orientation, intersex, gender, gender nonbinary, gender expression, gender role, gender identity, cisgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and masturbation. Sex is defined as the act of vaginal, anal or manual intercourse or oral stimulation. LessonBee – Grades 7 and 8 - “Uses for the Reproductive System” Eva discussing with her friends Tiff and Della: “We’d never done that before and were just touching each other and then all of the sudden he cummed on me! Like right by my vagina!” Della: “It happens sometimes. He was turned on and he ejaculated on you, I guess. It just happened.” Eva: “Ejaculated?” Tiff: “Nerd alert! But yeah, Della’s right. Cum is also called ejaculate.” “A Guide To: Getting Over the Bump,” a pamphlet listing options for students who think they might be pregnant with a text number for Planned Parenthood and a link to Jane’s Due Process, which helps minors get a judicial bypass for abortion without parental consent. “Option 3: Terminate Pregnancy: “If you think abortion is right for you, it’s important to talk with a trusted adult or medical professional to evaluate your situation.” Provides link about abortion rights: https://www.aclutx.org/en/know-your-rights/abortion-texas Quaver Ed – Grades K to 5 Teachers are told to give bonus points “if students recognize that fetuses grow in the uterus and are only called babies once they are born!” Here’s What You Can Do1.
