Report reveals benefits and successes of
abstinence-until-marriage sex education, health risks of
comprehensive sex ed and opposition of parents to comprehensive
sex-ed approach
Minneapolis – Tom Prichard, President of the Minnesota
Family Council (MFC), today, announced the release of a report for
parents and the public on the sex education debate currently raging
in the state.
“There’s been a lot of misinformation on the sex ed
debate: what is actually taught in abstinence-until-marriage sex
education versus comprehensive sex education and what parents
actually want.
Hopefully, this report will help people understand just what
the issues are and what’s in the best interest of children, parents
and society,” said Prichard.
The report is entitled, “Sex Education: Key Issues and
Why Parents Should Get Involved.” It reviews the two
approaches to sex education – abstinence-until-marriage and
comprehensive-sex education, myths about abstinence-until-marriage
education, the controversial nature of comp-sex ed and what parents
want from sex education.
“Efforts to mandate unhealthy sex education for kids
in every public middle and high school in the state were defeated in
the last legislative session.
Since then the mainstream media and pro-condoms advocates
have attempted to undermine the abstinence-until-marriage message in
their effort to force a pro-condom and alternative sexual lifestyles
message on Minnesota kids across the state,” continued
Prichard.
“A MFC review of several comprehensive sex education
curricula used in Minnesota schools found they contain unhealthy
sexual activities. When
parents are informed of the unhealthy sex activities in the
curricula they reject mandatory comprehensive sex education,” said
Prichard.
“I believe if all the facts are out there parents will
overwhelmingly reject this power grab,” concluded
Prichard.

report can be found on the Minnesota Family Council Webpage at
