Outrage at Netflix over its decision to stream the film “Cuties” has led to a mass exodus<\/a> of customers who say the movie exploits preteen girls. The company, which faced pushback in 2019 when it announced<\/a> it would actively fight Georgia’s pro-life law banning abortion on preborn babies with detectable heartbeats, showed its support for Planned Parenthood in 2018 when an episode of its show “Big Mouth” promoted<\/a> the abortion giant. Now it seems legalized abortion isn’t the only controversial issue on which Netflix and Planned Parenthood agree.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood would have Americans believe that their sex education programs are simply a part of their efforts to help girls and women while it defends its promotion of abusive sexual behaviors. Similarly, Netflix is defending<\/a> “Cuties,” calling it “a social commentary against the sexualization of young children” while apologizing for how the film was marketed. Filmmaker Maimouna Doucour\u00e9 also spoke out after people began boycotting Netflix, saying<\/a>\u00a0the film was meant to “fight against young children’s hypersexualization.” However, she\u00a0noted<\/a> that the girls starring in the film worked with a child psychologist \u2014 which points to the fact that the adults making the film knew<\/em> the children were being paid to act in a way that could be detrimental to their mental and emotional health.<\/p>\n

If you are outraged about Netflix’s “Cuties” normalizing the sexualization of children, then you might also be outraged by Planned Parenthood’s longtime role in sexualizing children.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood Sex Ed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood believes sex-ed should “begin at birth<\/a>,” and is working to infiltrate the public school system beginning<\/a> in kindergarten, stating<\/a>,\u00a0“Ideally, sex education in school is an integrated process that builds upon itself year after year [and] is initiated in kindergarten [\u2026]” The corporation’s kindergarten curriculum for five-year-olds includes the discussion of unplanned pregnancy and abortion as well as gender identity. A proposed<\/a> sex-ed plan from the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), which includes Planned Parenthood members, teaches kindergarteners about masturbation.<\/p>\n

As previously reported<\/a> by Live Action News, multiple<\/em> sex-ed programs are connected to Planned Parenthood and share the same emphases:<\/p>\n

… [B]y seventh grade, Washington state\u2019s KNOW Curriculum manual notes<\/a> guidelines for teachers to:<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Show and handle contraceptives no sooner than 7th grade and no later than 8th grade and continue lessons throughout high school. This includes condom demonstration on correct condom use.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This curriculum isn\u2019t new to the state, however.\u00a0Live Action News has reported on this controversial curriculum<\/a> in another Washington state school district, as parents helped boot out another Planned Parenthood connected curriculum, Get Real!, only to find out the school district may have duped them into Planned Parenthood-connected curriculum anyway with its use of the KNOW Curriculum.<\/em><\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood’s\u00a0Teen Council<\/a>\u00a0is nothing more than a group of teens taught by Planned Parenthood how to instruct their peers about sex.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that throughout the\u00a0United States<\/a>, the minimum age of sexual consent ranges from\u00a016 to 18<\/b>. Many states have tiered systems, age differential exceptions (“Romeo and Juliet” laws), and allow exceptions for marital status. Generally speaking, these laws are meant to protect minors and children from predatory adults.<\/p>\n

Yet Planned Parenthood’s sex-ed program seems to ignore these safeguards by encouraging children as young as kindergarten to experiment with sexuality, and children in middle school to handle condoms.\u00a0So if public policy discourages and punishes sexual conduct with minors, why does this organization receive taxpayer funding to encourage children and minors to experiment with sex?<\/p>\n

Dangerous behavior promoted to teens<\/strong><\/p>\n

As children age, the “education” Planned Parenthood provides grows increasingly more dangerous. Live Action’s undercover investigative “SEXED” video series shows Planned Parenthood staffers telling girls as young as 15 that “stop” during sexual activity doesn’t always mean “stop.”<\/em> One worker tells the girl, “‘Stop’ \u2014 those can kinda get, like, mixed up when you’re having intercourse. For some guys, they don’t know, ‘Does she really mean stop?'”<\/p>\n
