Gov. Doyle signs Sex Ed Bill into law TODAY - Grothman blasts DOYLE

Grothman Blasts Governor Doyle for Signing Bill to Sexualize Wisconsin’s Minor Children

Planned Parenthood Stands to Profit

Madison: Today, Senator Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) blasted Governor Doyle for signing Planned Parenthood’s Sex Ed Bill, Assembly Bill 458, into law.

“I would think the vast majority of Wisconsin parents would not approve of their children’s friends being sexually active in middle school,” said Grothman.

“Sadly, Governor Doyle today signed a bill requiring Wisconsin’s school districts to teach sex education without showing any bias toward sexually active pupils,” said Grothman. “While this non-judgmentalism may be typical of Planned Parenthood which currently supplies contraceptives to 15 year old girls and boys without their parents’ knowledge or consent, it is scandalous to impose their libertine values on other people’s youth.”

The bill also continues the recent trend to centralize local K-12 school curriculums. “Parents must re-double their efforts to monitor what their children are taught in the government schools as the government attack on religious values continues,” advised Grothman. “State law permits parents to opt their children out of offensive classes and local citizens to serve on their school’s Advisory Committees.”

Grothman did get a minor victory by amending the bill to force local school districts to instruct students about the criminal consequences of early sexual activity. Planned Parenthood had tried to keep local school districts from informing Wisconsin’s children that it is a felony to have sex with someone under the age of 16.

AB458/SB324 passes Senate and Assembly in one fell swoop

With lightening speed, Planned Parenthood's alleged advocate, Sen. Lena Taylor, had her hopes and dreams fulfilled yesterday as the Senate passed the UN"Healthy Youth Act" with one amendment, then shot it to the Assembly for a rapid response and quick passage. The bill is now on its way to Governor Doyle's office. He is expected to place his rubber stamp of approval.

AB458/SB324 UN"Healthy Youth Act" to be voted on in Senate this Wednesday

**ALERT!!

The Senate Education Committee in Madison is scheduled to vote on the Planned Parenthood’s Sex Education Bill – Senate Bill 324/Assembly Bill 458, this Wednesday, January 27^th at 9:30 AM. The driving force behind the bill is America’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, which operates 3 of the 4 largest abortion clinics in Wisconsin.

For an indication of how Planned Parenthood intends to discuss sex with our children and their expectations for young people, please see their website at http://www.plannedparenthood.org/teen-talk/. Currently, Planned Parenthood is paid by the state of Wisconsin taxpayers to give free contraceptives to all adolescents above the age of 14 (However, they do not turn away younger boys and girls). SB 324/AB 458 is the most significant change to Wisconsin sex education that we’ve had in a generation and the bills clearly promote that young people are expected to be sexually active. These bills do this in the following way:

1. Currently, school districts can teach abstinence-centered instruction. While SB 324/AB 458 discusses abstinence, it will bar abstinence-only instruction. This bill will not let school districts teach abstinence without teaching condom and contraceptive use. ( SB 324 page 3, lines 14-17) http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2009/data/SB324-SSA1.pdf

2. Current law dictates that local school districts have committees, which include members of clergy, to decide what is included in their school district’s sex ed curriculum. This bill will require the curriculum be recommended by national liberal groups including the American Public Health Association, which has taken the extreme position of being in favor of partial birth abortion. http://www.apha.org/advocacy/activities/actionissues/legiationactionopposingpartial.htm

3.SB 324/AB 458 requires sex ed instruction to not have a bias regarding sexual orientation/homosexuality or having sex before marriage. Therefore, any instruction that says homosexuality or sex before marriage is considered morally wrong would not be allowed under SB 324/AB 458. Proponents of the bill have indicated this curriculum is appropriate for 6^th and 7^th graders. (SB 324 page 3, lines 23-25) http://www.legis.state.wi.us/2009/data/SB324-SSA1.pdf

4. Although parents are able to opt their children out, the instruction will influence the next generation of Wisconsin students' morality and lower the expectations for early sexual activity.

"Un"Healthy Youth Act, AB458, kills FREEDOM

Julaine Appling of Wisconsin Family Voice writes -

Fast-tracking legislation is starting early this session in our state legislature.

Take for instance, Assembly Bill 458 (AB 458) introduced this past Wednesday, 9/30, and scheduled for a public hearing in the Assembly’s Education committee this coming Tuesday, 10/6, at 9:00 a.m. Normally this type of “quick and dirty” bill handling doesn’t happen until February or so. Apparently, all bets are off in this Democratically-controlled legislature. Obviously, it’s “taxpayer/concerned citizen beware.”

AB 458, erroneously called the “Healthy Youth Act,” is a very thinly veiled attempt to do away with abstinence-centered Human Growth and Development programs in Wisconsin’s schools. Basically, even if the committee that proposes the curriculum wants to have an abstinence-centered program and recommends such to the school board, they can’t have it. AB 458 would make it illegal.

This “Un-Healthy Youth Act” requires that if a school district opts to have a Human Growth and Development program ( it’s still voluntary in WI), the program must include “medically accurate information” on such topics as “gender stereotypes,” “the health benefits, side effects, and proper use of contraceptives and barrier methods” approved by the FDA (which, of course, includes the euphemistically named “Plan B” emergency contraception). To be fair the law also requires that “the benefits of and reasons for abstaining from sexual activity” must be covered–along with all of the other “comprehensive sex ed” topics.

This proposal also requires that the program a school implements use “instructional methods and materials that do not promote bias against pupils of any race, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnic or cultural background or against sexually active pupils or children with disabilities.”

So, once again, by getting “sexual orientation” included in the above list, the homosexual advocates have prevailed. They have prevented schools from telling the truth about the dangers inherent in sexual activity with persons of the same sex. That right there makes this bill ”unhealthy” for youth.

I’m starting to feel a Rep. Joe Wilson moment coming on. I want to shout, “You lie!”

Cap all this off with a provision that will allow Planned Parenthood-WI or other so-called “family planning groups” to show up and, if a school district wants to, provide all the instruction in this program to all the students. Suppose they’ll refer the students to PPWI’s “Teen Wire” or “Go Ask Alice“? (Caution: if you click on any of the sites linked on the Planned Parenthood “teen page,” be prepared to be offended.)

Yep, “Healthy Youth Act.” You betcha. Wanna buy the “Bridge to Nowhere”?
