Correction to text below: The state is not revising the sex ed curriculum. Virginia will be revising transgender accommodations in schools.

Council (http://www.frc.org) has just released a pamphlet that addresses sex education in public schools. As we already discussed in a previous article (PARENTAL RIGHTS? RELIGIOUS FREEDOM?), Richmond legislators earlier this year enacted a mandate for sex education K-12 in all Virginia public schools. That explicit curriculum and how it is to be implemented is currently being developed by the Department of Education and will be mandatory when the 2021-22 school year opens.

Cathy Ruse, author of the FRC pamphlet, has made clear and plain what concerned parents can and should do to protect their children. She presents so much information that to try to summarize it here would be difficult. Rather, you, the reader, are strongly encouraged to digest the pamphlet for yourself at:  “Sex Education in Public Schools: Sexualization of Children and LGBT Indoctrination.” The pamphlet is downloadable, so you can get it in print yourself.

Sex(ualization) ed is coming, folks, whether or not we like it. So is transgender inclusion, so you can expect that biological males will use bathrooms, showers and dressing areas currently reserved for girls.

Now is the time to become well-versed in your options and those of your children, and form a plan of action for you and your family to follow. Do not let this find you unprepared. Arm yourself for action NOW! Let your voice be heard.

Why the fuss? Why is sex education so important? Parents have an obligation to properly educate their children. That includes what it means to love another person.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. — Ronald Reagan (from here)

If we don’t know how to love and care for each other, we are not fit to be free. If we fail to raise our children so that they are fit to be free men and women, will our Lord find them fit for heaven? Probably not.

If we don’t know how to love each other, will we know how to love God? No. When Jesus taught us how to love our Father in Heaven, He used marriage, not recreational sex, as His example. The Apostle Paul expressed Jesus’ teachings this way.

Ephesians 5:22-33 New King James Version (NKJV)

Marriage—Christ and the Church

²² Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. ²⁴ Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, ²⁶ that He might ^[a]sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, ²⁷ that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. ³⁰ For we are members of His body, ^[b]of His flesh and of His bones. ³¹ “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” ³² This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. ³³ Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Note that our Lord required a man to love his wife as he loves himself. No woman should give herself to a man, risk bearing children for him, unless she knows he is wholly devoted to her.
