This tacit admission as to the sexually explicit nature of these curricula should serve as a stark wake-up call for every parent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the country&#8217;s leading sex education groups for minors is speaking against a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing states to require age verification to access pornography \u2014 and prevent minors from viewing.<\/li>\n<li>The group worries that restricting pornographic materials may threaten its ability to distribute its sexually graphic materials to children in school libraries and classrooms.<\/li>\n<li>The removal of sexually explicit, age-inappropriate material from sex education and other classroom instruction is not &#8220;book banning.&#8221; It is protecting minors from harmful content that affects their development \u2014 content that was created based on the pedophilic Kinseyan idea that children are &#8220;sexual from birth.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>The Details:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a statement sent to supporters via e-mail, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/siecus.org\/about-us\/#mission\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SIECUS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> president and CEO Christine Soyong Harley stated that the Supreme Court&#8217;s recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/24pdf\/23-1122_3e04.pdf\">ruling<\/a> in <em>Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton<\/em> \u201cdoes more than regulate adult access to online content; <\/span><b>it opens the floodgates to censoring of sex education and LGBTQIA+ affirming materials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d (emphasis added).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SIECUS, Planned Parenthood, and other members of the Future of Sex Education (FoSE) Coalition promote sexually explicit material in their sex-ed curricula as \u201ceducational.\u201d This is evident from SIECUS\u2019 claim that the Supreme Court decision \u201ccould have broad implications for other content online that some may claim is &#8216;sexually obscene&#8217; solely for discussing sexual and reproductive health topics \u2014 such as sex education content.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, both SIECUS and Planned Parenthood have framed prenatal development education bills as an <em>attack<\/em> on so-called &#8220;comprehensive&#8221; sex education and <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/webinar-prenatal-development-education-indoctrination\/\">have claimed<\/a> that including prenatal development as part of sex education is &#8220;religious ideology&#8221; and &#8220;Christian indoctrination.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They warn that showing students the developing child in the womb (which, of course, results from male\/female sexual intercourse) could &#8220;reinforce abortion stigma&#8221; \u2014 though neither the curriculum requirements nor approved videos for potential use make any mention of abortion. They simply show what happens during human prenatal development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a March 2024 \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/siecus.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IfThen-Online-Censorship-3.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If\/Then Online Censorship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d statement, SIECUS claims that due to a lack of sex education aligning with National Sex Education Standards (NSES) and created by SIECUS and other members of the FoSE coalition, children turn to social media, books, and other online sources for information. SIECUS goes on to quote the American Library Association: \u201cWhile pornography and sex education are very different, this decision is a departure from unrestricted access to First Amendment protected material online.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These and other groups maintain the propagandistic idea that restricting youth from viewing age-inappropriate, pornographic material is akin to &#8220;book banning.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sad reality is that the sexually explicit \u201csex education\u201d curricula, websites, and books promulgated by SIECUS, the American Library Association, and the FoSE coalition are, in many ways, pornographic \u2014 as Live Action News <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-coalition-sexually-graphic-books-schools\/\">has shown<\/a> by exposing some of the materials. They are purchased with taxpayer funds and sit on the book shelves of <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-coalition-sexually-graphic-books-schools\/\">school libraries<\/a> across the country and are often even integrated into core subjects far outside the realm of \u201csex education\u201d or health class \u2014 a controversy <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/supreme-court-planned-parenthood-agenda-religious-parents\/\">also addressed<\/a> by the U.S. Supreme Court in the recent decision of <em>Mahmoud v.
