Surprised? Planned Parenthood Allegedly Created Indiana Girl Scouts Sex Ed Program

While liberals frequently impugn the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts seem to have gotten a pass for its connections to Planned Parenthood. But that could change if more stories like the one below keep coming to light.
LifeNews reports that in Bloomington, Indiana, a Planned Parenthood “health and sexuality educator” was involved in the creation of a Girl Scouts program on the same subject, targeted at girls as young as five years old. They cite Planned Parenthood award recipient Anne Reese, who Planned Parenthood itself credits with “work[ing] for many years as a health and sexuality educator, and help[ing to] initiate the Family Life Education program for Girl Scouts ages five to 18 throughout a twelve-county area.” The same site mentions that Reese’s career began in the Bloomington, Indiana area.
And what does a “health and sexuality educator” do, exactly? Again, a section on the Planned Parenthood website titled, “Tools for Educators,” provides the answers. Or rather, they don’t provide the answers, but link to lesson plans from another organization called the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS). Here are a few excerpts of activities from their lesson plans:
Q&A on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
This interactive lesson is designed to allow participants to ask questions and hear from gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning people in the form of a panel discussion. The activity addresses and assists participants to move beyond stereotypes and promote acceptance and respect for all people irrespective of their sexual orientation. The lesson requires a panel composed of youth and young adults who are openly gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or questioning.
How to be a Super Activist or Ally
In this lesson participants identify ways to be an activist and/or ally to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning people. The lesson relies heavily on group activity and requires students to work together to create ways to fight homophobia and transphobia.
Unplanned Pregnancy: Abortion
This lesson addresses issues related to abortion including: definitions of spontaneous and induced, surgical and medical, legal and illegal abortions; and discussion of medical and legal facts and myths, feelings, and values regarding abortion. An optional family homework assignment is included.
Contraception, Day 3: What’s the Best Method?
This lesson explores decision-making with regards to birth control, including the impact of ethical and emotional issues. Students practice applying factors such as effectiveness, safety, cost, emotions and ethics to hypothetical decision-making scenarios.
The news, unfortunately, might not be too shocking considering stories The Blaze has brought you before. Last week we reported on the video by the American Life League that exposes the graphic lessons Planned Parenthood teaches to young people aimed at “hooking” them on sex. In fact, Indian state Rep. Bob Morris recently called the Girl Scouts a “radicalized organization” that “sexualizes” young girls. And a VA Catholic church banned the group for its ties to Planned Parenthood.
And on top of that all, The Blaze exposed teaching material used by the Girl Scouts that encouraged them to use the liberal site Media Matters to combat bias.
So is this what you thought your money was going to when you bought a box of Thin Mints? Weigh in below.

Posted on February 26, 2012 at 4:52amThe Kinsey Institute is located at Indiana University in Bloomington IN. Kinsey is the father of the sexual revolution due to his fraudulent research he performed by studying sex habits of convicts and perverts. Children were sexually abused by adults for his studies. He then used his research to change the laws in America. His research is what was used to decriminalize crimes against women and children. The sexual revolution was a huge hoax perpetrated on America. Please read more by studying the lifetime work of Judith Reisman – available free on-line.

The thing that makes this shocking is that this article is saying that now the Girl Scouts have been doing it and they are supposed to be a “wholesome” organization that people can trust – presumably it’s run by the parents.
Anyway, judging from your comments you probably are predisposed to disagreeing with anything anyone says unless they wear an Obama button and spew squalor from their face hole.

Posted on February 25, 2012 at 2:29pmWhere are the parents and troop leaders on all this? Absolutely befuddled. I am the cookie mom for my daughter’s troop. I am very conservative and have been pro-life longer than I’ve been a republican. I have never seen any evidence of sex, birth control, abortion, etc being taught or talked about at any girl scout function our troop has been to. The only time planned parenthood had been mentioned to my girls are when well meaning conservatives tell them that is why they are not buying cookies from them.
If you feel compelled to not support girl scouts because of these allegations, fine. But please, please, PLEASE do not bring this up to the girls themselves as your reason. I would never stand for strangers talking to my daughter about birth control without my permission. Why would you think I would want you, who might vote exactly as I do, to do that. If you think little girls should be sheltered from hearing about sex at a too-young age, then don’t bring it up them when they are trying to sell cookies.
Remember when the democrats boo-ed the boy scouts carrying the flag to open their national convention? It was rude and wrong. Don’t be like that. There are appropriate ways to learn facts, voice concerns, etc. To a little girl’s face is NOT one of them.

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 9:22amNow that sex ed is being pushed by the top levels of the G. S. organization, parents need to be especially vigilant. Check all materials to which your child is exposed. Make sure you know what programs are being offered at camp. Get to know your child’s Scout leader.You cannot assume everything is acceptable just “because it’s The Girl Scouts.” Unfortunately, since G.S. has gotten involved in these controversial moral issues, it now requires increased scrutiny. If you have any suspicions that your child is being propagandized to accept the wrong values, let the organization know your opinions and the reasons you are taking her OUT of the Girl Scouts!

Posted on February 24, 2012 at 3:28pmgreat post Patty, I agree with everything you said. Why can’t we bring back personal responsibility? Every time you have sex (unless you’re older) there is a possibility of pregnancy. The only 100% guarantee that there will be no baby is to NOT have sex. Why can’t we teach this in our schools?
Why do our elementary school age children need to know about transgenderism, abortions, etc. Lets teach them the fundamentals and let the parents teach about reproduction. I will be sending my children to private school to hopefully bypass the government school system and its agenda.
Regretfully, I will also not be purchasing Girl Scout cookies anymore. They are not the same organization as they were when I was a girl scout. What a shame.

Kruzan obviously didn’t get all the facts straight before making his statement, or chose to ignore the important facts in order to downplay this… but he’s also a flaming liberal, so that might have something to do with his “opinion”.

However, you can find county divorce statistics on the internet. If you do this, you will find that 3 of the counties with the highest divorce statistics are very close in proximity to Bloomington and The Kinsey Institute – where the sexual revolution began and continues to progress. The sexual revolution was a hoax to reduce prison sentences for violent crimes and sex offenders. Kinsey took the results of his so-called research to court houses across America in order to have laws changed in favor of criminals. When the public is frustrated because rapists and sex offenders walk away with a slap of the wrist, they can thank Kinsey. There must still be some people living in Bloomington who had knowledge of or took part in Kinsey’s shameful work.

I am NOT going to leave the sex ed to the schools. They teach them that sex is ok, just use birth control and condoms. They do not teach the reasons why NOT to have sex prior to marriage other than you can get a disease. But there’s a whole lot more to sex than what disease you could get. And the schools downplay the pregnancy part. If I don’t open the dialogue soon, they won’t feel comfortable talking to me later.
Of course, I don’t expect them to want to talk with me when they are teenagers, but I will try to keep the discourse going as well….
