April 14, 2014: FINAL! Tempe and Sex-Ed Curriculum Meeting, Posted: 2014-03-31 Jason Walsh via Peggy McClain 3-30-14
Fellow Citizens, this is it. This may be the last Tempe Union HIgh School Sex Ed meeting as the committee is close to choosing a curriculum. The members appear to be leaning towards FLASH, which is intertwined with Planned Parenthood, although the committee is misleading themselves, the audience, and the taxpayers about the relationship.
Those of you in other cities and school districts, if you think this doesn't apply to you, it does. Tempe is step one for Planned Parenthood to enter all districts in Arizona. If you have young children and feel this issue doesn't apply to you yet, don't look now but Planned Parenthood's goal is to immerse themselves in the lives of children of all ages.
The Tempe Union High School District is a door for Planned Parenthood that is opening, and that door alllows Planned Parenthood to channel its "educational" sex agenda to the rest of the state.
Even if you have no strong feelings for or against Planned Parenthood, are you comfortable with an organization in your school district that continually:
Misleads the public on its intentions by not admitting abortions are its #1 financial goal. (Read its financial statements and testimonies from former PP employees.) Misleads the public about what its education director said at the January meeting--contrary to what is actually on tape. Lies about its involvement in the favored curriculum--it's easy to prove this deception with a quick google search. Funds campaigns of a sitting school board member, then diverts this attention away from him at every opportunity and blames the public for being misinformed. Planned Parenthood's educational arm had 21 months to update the proposed curriculums to align with SB1009 and didn't bother addressing this until TUHSD was threatened with a lawsuit.
Is this what you want in your schools?
Please attend the meeting listed below. Speak if you'd like, or just come and watch an unelected group of individuals make a decision that will affect us all. Thanks.
Friends of Life:
*Date*: April 14th at 4:30pm at the Tempe History Museum. Southwest corner of Rural and Southern in Tempe, next to the library.
This committee meeting should be a good one. FLASH and Choose The Best curricula are still on the table. Because we are focusing on dissecting and deconstructing the FLASH curriculum lesson by lesson, it would be good if we could direct our comments to specific elements of the curriculum that fly in the face of SB 1009 or simply fall short of its intent and purpose. Here is the link to the Google Doc where comments can come from:

Right now we have three lessons complete, with a fourth on the way so please contribute if you can to the analysis. As I mentioned the last time, our analysis might not mean a lot to the committee, but it will serve as a notice that we are involved and that we are passionate about the protection of life and the promotion of our sacred values. As we are seeing in the Hobby Lobby case, there is no neutrality for organizations, persons or the government, especially public schools. Everything is done out of a set of core values, or worldview.
