What You Can Do

If you are concerned about what your child is being taught about sex in school, you should contact the teacher and school principal for more information and to express your concerns.

If you are concerned about what your child is being taught about sex in school, you should contact the teacher and school principal for more information and to express your concerns.

If you are unable to receive a satisfactory answer from the school principal:

• Raise the issue with the school board.  Organize other concerned parents to go to the school board meeting with you.  Present your concerns in a clear and concise manner, emphasizing that attempts to work with school administrators have failed.
• If you are unable to receive an adequate response from the school board, make calls to the local news media about your concerns.  Submit letters to the editor to your local newspapers. Get the issue out in front of the public – make others aware of what your school is doing (or not doing).

If your concerns are still not resolved, consider removing your children from the school and either home-school or enroll the student in a school that will be held accountable and teach abstinence-until-marriage as an expected standard.
