Indoctrinating Children

Planned Parenthood (PP) has been actively indoctrinating children since the 1970s. It promotes and teaches “comprehensive” sex education in our schools and through various youth groups and organizations. Their website states, “Sex education that is responsible and medically accurate, begins in kindergarten, and continues in an age-appropriate manner through the 12th grade...”(1) 

PP actively offers sex education programs, books, curricula, manuals, pamphlets, research  papers, videos, websites, speakers, teachers, and workshops to unsuspecting parents, children, teens, and school boards. They train teachers and peer educators for schools and community organizations, emphasizing an approach to sex ed that prioritizes talking to students about what causes pleasure.(2) Trained peers make sure classmates are informed about access to birth control and abortion.(3) 

PP spreads sexually explicit content among students. 11-year-old students in Tacoma, Washington, received flyers printed by PP letting them know that they can consent to sex with minors who are less than two years older than them, that they can buy condoms at any age, that they can get abortions without parental consent, and that anyone over the age of 14 can get STI testing without parental knowledge.(4) Planned Parenthood of Regina instructed ninth-graders at Lumsden High School in Saskatchewan, Canada to use PP’s cards for group games. The cards had cartoon illustrations of sexual terms on one side and descriptions on the back.(5) Planned Parenthood defended its actions in an online statement after the incident.(6) 

PP has a presence in many local schools and communities across the nation through organizations that serve youth.(7) They may even access kids through churches.(8) Recently, PP has expanded access into people's homes with "Roo," a chatbot marketed to teens encouraging them to ask sexually explicit questions. Parental consent is not needed to access Roo. Roo offers information and advice on obtaining abortions and contraceptives, as well as sexual advice.(9)

When fed a questions about when to start having sex with an older partner, Roo failed to recognize the possibility of statutory rape.(10)
