Fighting For a Good Curriculum

When parents send their precious children to school, they expect that they will be receiving a good education and learning about virtue, morality and striving to be academically excellent. 

The only problem is that in our American public school system, we are failing to teach our children virtues by exchanging morality for lessons on accepting deviant behavior.

I grew up mostly in the public school system and the garbage that I was exposed to in the curriculum makes me infuriated when I think of what children will be learning by the time my generation becomes parents. 

The literature that I learned in school, particularly high school, was geared towards learning about acceptance. We read books about the LGBT community, infidelity and books with graphic sexual descriptions.

 Instead of having characters that would allow students to learn lessons about being a good family member, we read about characters that rebelled from their families, had many affairs, struggled with gender identity etc. 

Do not even get me started on the health class curriculum. I think "health class" should be renamed to what it actually is- TRASH!!! 

"Health Class" in my school was a free-for-all. We spent little time learning about healthy eating or the systems of our body. Everything was about relationships. 

When I went to public school, we did not discuss chastity. All the teachers talked about was birth control. It was all about "being empowered" and students were taught it was acceptable to be in unchaste relationships as long as they used contraception.  

The lies we are telling our students makes me angry! I watched many of my friends from public school struggle in their relationships because the school system teaches that really anything goes and if you think otherwise you are just a judgemental person!

There have been many instances where parents are infuriated about children being taught deviant sexual behavior is ok. For example, some schools are now pushing for kindergarteners to be taught about transgenderism and parents are not the happiest.

We are not doing our children a favor by teaching them these things! We are ruining their innocence!

 Children have a right to be innocent. They should be outside playing hopscotch and going on bike rides, not in a classroom learning about AIDS in the 4th grade (Yes; I learned about this in public school in the 4th grade!).

Catholic parents need to be proactive in their child's education because I have seen many of my friends go away from the Church after being thrown into this jungle or moral relativism.

I suggest that if parents send their children to public school, to find out about the curriculum in detail and know their rights to opt out! I was able to opt out of my public school health class after the first year due to religious reasons.  Parents should also take a look at what their kids are learning in their literature classes and discuss that with them!

Our children are the future and we can not corrupt them by exposing them to scenarios they are too young to comprehend the morality of. 

Our curriculum should aim to teach students to strive for virtue and become the best versions of themselves.

Write to your Board of Education and see what you can do to change the curriculum your children are exposed to. We must act for the future of America!
