Time for parents to write an OPT OUT letter to protect their child
A simple written statement such as the following should be put on file now with your school district to protect your kids. If there ends up being a library full of kids working on alternative projects, so be it. It will send a message that the parents of your community are informed and will not allow Madison liberals with an agenda to tread on parental rights.
"Dear Superintendant,
Under Chapter 118.019(4), Wisconsin Statutes, I would like to opt my child, _______________________, out of sex ed instruction. We are very offended by Planned Parenthood’s extreme agenda for Wisconsin’s minor children brought about by the passage of Assembly Bill 458.
I expect the _________ School District to fully respect and comply with my rights as a Parent in Not instructing my children to break the laws of the State of Wisconsin relating to underage sexual activity.
Sincerely,
Name: _____________________
118.019(4) – Parental Opt Out Statute
(4) Exemption for individual pupils. No pupil may be required to take instruction in human growth and development or in the specific subjects under subs. (2) and (2r) if the pupil's parent or guardian files with the teacher or school principal a written request that the pupil be exempted.

Message from Sen. Grothman concerning SEX ED bill
Action Needed to Stop Planned Parenthood’s Offensive Sex Ed Bill
Dear Friends,
People sometimes wonder how we arrived at the state of moral decay we are currently at in America and what we can do to fight it. One primary example exacerbating current problems in Wisconsin is Senate Bill 324/Assembly Bill 458 which dramatically changes the Sex Education curriculum in our state.
This bill, which is a top legislative priority for Planned Parenthood, will require districts to use curriculum approved by a traditionally liberal Department of Public Instruction relying on information determined to be accurate by liberal national groups. Bizarrely, public school teachers will not be able to say anything that will promote bias against sexually active children. Apparently, we don’t want to hurt their feelings.
Currently, curriculum is determined by a community advisory board made up of local parents and clergy who normally have a much more conservative and Christian-based view of sex among youngsters than Planned Parenthood. A coalition of almost two dozen liberal groups is pushing this bill that has already passed the State Assembly on a 48 to 43 vote.
It is vital for all sincere Christians to call their State Senators at this time and tell them to vote against Senate Bill 324/Assembly Bill 458. It would also be a good idea to call your State Representative and find out how they voted. If they voted for AB 458, ask them to publicly renounce their vote.
If you would like further information about how to protect Wisconsin’s children and keep our schools safe, please feel free to contact me toll-free at 1-800-662-1227 or email me at Sen.Grothman@legis.wisconsin.gov.
Very Truly Yours,
Glenn Grothman
State Senator
20th Senate District

AB458 passes tonight 48-43 - Get ready for ROUND TWO
Planned Parenthood has effectively trampled on Your values and Your rights tonight.
It should now be clear: Planned Parenthood has a solid grip on the Wisconsin State Legislature after targeting many pro-life legislators for elimination in the last two elections.
The final vote on Passage of Assembly Bill 458 was 48 to 43 - straight party-line vote with the Democrats voting in lock step with Planned Parenthood's extreme agenda and the Republicans plus Pro-Life Democrat Bob Ziegelbauer voting in support of Wisconsin's teens, parents, school districts, and taxpayers.
