It indicated this week that it would vote on the curriculum implementation; however, on Wednesday, school officials reportedly decided to move in another direction. Parents, pastors, and community members kept pressure on the district to keep Planned Parenthood out of their schools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s Inside Planned Parenthood&#8217;s Sex Ed Curriculum?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The program in question, <a href=\"http:\/\/getrealeducation.org\/learn-more\">Get Real<\/a>, is from Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.

Repsold, is also the pastor of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosaicspokane.com\/PlannedParenthoodCurriculumCr%E2%80%A6\/\">Mosaic Church in Spokane<\/a>, and has reviewed virtually all the curriculum, reporting on it for community members to read. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mosaicspokane.com\/plannedparenthoodcurriculumcritique\/\">Repsold writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>IF YOU WANT PLANNED PARENTHOOD TO BE IN CHARGE OF THE SEX &amp; SEXUALITY EDUCATION OF YOUR CHILDREN IN SPOKANE, READ NO FURTHER.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY WILL TEACH &amp; NOT TEACH TO YOUR CHILDREN, READ ON.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He outlines, from the curriculum (available for view at the district office), what he calls a \u201ccondensed\u201d version of what Planned Parenthood will teach at every grade.

The Board now believes that the public is largely in favor of this material.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>A Curriculum With Troubling Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the only source saying this curriculum is effective is the abortion corporation itself. Planned Parenthood insists its Get Real curriculum works by citing a singular 2014 study (which Planned Parenthood helped to fund and facilitate, <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/wol1\/doi\/10.1111\/josh.12199\/full\">something it openly discloses<\/a>), with results published in the Journal of School Health. Partnering with the Wellesley [University] Center for Women, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/about-us\/newsroom\/press-releases\/planned-parenthoods-get-real-program-works-it-changes-sexual-behavior-among-middle-school-students\">insists<\/a> that schools that use this curriculum find that fewer students are having sex. The <a href=\"http:\/\/getrealeducation.org\/learn-more\">Get Real website claims<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A recent study demonstrated that, among students who received <em>Get Real<\/em>, 16% fewer boys and 15% fewer girls had sex compared to their peers who did not take <em>Get Real<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, this claim is highly questionable, based on a five-year report from the United States Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 (HHS) Office of Adolescent Health, revealing that sex education programs are actually a failure in public schools. The report, as <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/federal-report-planned-parenthoods-touted-sex-ed-programs-failure\/\">Live Action News noted in October, said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[H]alf billion dollars of spending and half a decade of work has failed to produce the effective sex education programs promised. In fact, a closer look at the data from the HHS office shows that in some cases, the federally-funded sex education programs helped <em>contribute<\/em> to an <em>increase<\/em> of pregnancy and sexual exploration in teenagers, while other programs didn\u2019t impact behavior changes at all. While those supporting these sex education programs, including Planned Parenthood, have lauded the \u201cevidence-based\u201d curricula they provide, the results show evidence of widespread failure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of these main areas of failure was actually in Spokane\u2019s region, as Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest was granted $400,000 to implement another sex education program, Teen Outreach Program (TOP), in area schools. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/ash\/oah\/sites\/default\/files\/ash\/oah\/oah-initiatives\/evaluation\/grantee-led-evaluation\/reports\/ppgnw-final-report.pdf\">45-page report<\/a> from HHS notes the results:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Using data from almost 7,000 middle and high school students across five states in the northwest region of the U.S., no positive impacts were found on pregnancy overall at the end of the program or 12 months later. In addition, no positive impacts were found on having recent sexual intercourse, or on having recent sex without use of effective methods of birth control, both measured at the end of the program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/federal-report-planned-parenthoods-touted-sex-ed-programs-failure\/screen-shot-2016-10-26-at-12-00-46-am\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-155374\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-155374\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-26-at-12.00.46-AM-700x182.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-26-at-12.00.46-AM-700x182.png 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-26-at-12.00.46-AM-300x78.png 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-26-at-12.00.46-AM-768x200.png 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-26-at-12.00.46-AM-500x130.png 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Screen-Shot-2016-10-26-at-12.00.46-AM.png 1986w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>A Proven Failure and a Waste of Taxpayer Dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Planned Parenthood\u2019s involvement in school education programs and reducing sexual activity has already failed.

Since the abortion giant authored this curriculum and students are being forced to practice how to use birth control, how to call places like Planned Parenthood, and to listen to constant discussions of recreational sex among teens &#8212; all as part of the curriculum &#8212; there can be no doubt that one of the goals is to gain students as lifelong customers.<\/p>\n<p>Spokane Public Schools refused to let Planned Parenthood in its doors, and, as Repsold and other dissenting members have discovered, the school board can now direct its money into more effective causes that actually do prevent teenage sexual activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: A Spokane school district has dropped plans to implement a controversial Planned Parenthood sixth through ninth grade sex education curriculum in schools.
