A Nation Deceived: Comprehensive sex ed uses grooming and propaganda to shape minds

The pseudo-scientific concepts behind comprehensive sex education (CSE) were developed by individuals with ideologies that excused the grooming and sexualization of children and attempted to suppress the natural protective instincts of parents. 

In order to gain societal acceptance, these individuals used tactics like “sexual attitude reassessment” (SAR; the intentional exposure or grooming of children and adults utilizing sexualized and pornographic material) and distorted terminology – tactics still used today by Planned Parenthood and the Future of Sex Education (FoSE) coalition (SIECUS and others) which are alleged to have “...transform[ed] K-12 schools into crime scenes instead of academic institutions" due to the sexual grooming involved.

Key Takeaways:

• Comprehensive sex education utilizes sexual attitude reassessment, or exposing children and adults to sexualized and pornographic material, which grooms them sexually and creates "trauma bonding."

• The warping of words and vocabulary is also utilized to confuse, sexualize, and dehumanize human beings in order to perpetuate the comprehensive sex ed ideology.

• Exposure to these tactics essentially "rewires" the minds of children and causes devastating societal impacts.

The Background:

The self-accredited “experts” who created CSE, their warped ideologies, and the history of SAR, which is still used in the CSE taught by Planned Parenthood and its allies, include: 

• Alfred Kinsey (1894-1956): Dubbed the “father of the sexual revolution,” Kinsey authored the two-volume "sexual bibles," which serve as the foundational doctrine for CSE. He recruited pedophiles to record their sexual abuse of infants and children and presented the information as "scientific research," which was then used as supposed 'evidence' that humans are "sexual from birth" with mature sexualized desires and comprehension.

• Wardell Pomeroy (1913-2001): A primary associate of Kinsey and co-author of the “sexual bibles,” Pomeroy served as a founding leader of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS, a purveyor of comprehensive sex ed) and later served as the first dean of the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, which pioneered SAR material and education. Pomeroy advocated for the normalization of bestiality, the sexual abuse of minors, and incest. He notoriously claimed that incestuous encounters could be enriching, satisfying, and posed no threat to the children involved.

• Mary Calderone (1904-1998): A former Planned Parenthood Medical Director, Calderone founded SIECUS for the purpose of exposing children to sexualized content using Kinsey’s fraudulent “science.” Alongside her colleagues, Calderone aimed to justify incest and the sexualization of children, stating, "a little more touching in the home… [and] the nation might not be facing ‘the present rash of feverish adolescent sexual activity outside the home.’” In other words, Calderone believed that “infant and childhood sexuality” had to be prematurely awakened, encouraged and formed by parents and other adults so the child could realize and experience sexuality throughout his/her lifetime. Calderone believed that this “responsibility” of adults to “teach” and engage children sexually was akin to teaching a child how to ride a bike or introducing them to a “new religion.” 

• John Money (1921-2006): A Kinsey Institute researcher who pioneered work at the first "gender reassignment" facility in the U.S., Money held influential board positions at SIECUS and the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex (SSSS) — a primary architect of modern sex-education standards and metrics. Money later faced serious allegations of child abuse that were ignored by feminist movement and CSE leaders. Money advocated for the normalization of consensual incest involving minors, and characterized pedophilic impulses as the mere "love of children."

The Details:

Psychological manipulation

Sexual attitude reassessment (SAR) is both a tactic and a concept. SAR intentionally exposes participants (educators, professionals, and children) to sexualized and pornographic materials and ideas to induce something known as “trauma bonding.” 

In the book, “The Queering of the American Child,” authors Logan Lancing and James Lindsay characterize “trauma bonding” as a deliberate mechanism of “... exposing children to age inappropriate content related to sex, ‘gender,’ and sexuality, causing deep psychological disturbances.”

This psychological manipulation utilizes specific methods designed to subjugate the victim’s will to that of the perpetrator; in this case, to the will of those teaching CSE. It is, without a doubt, sexual grooming.

By overwhelming immature minds with explicit material they cannot cognitively process, a state of “trauma bonding” is induced. The child then becomes tethered to the source of this distress to navigate and rationalize the very trauma they have been forced to endure. 

But in the case of mature adults, the use of SAR tactics could only go so far. More had to be done to convince society and institutions to accept the ideology behind CSE: words and their meanings had to be reimagined.    

Warping of words & their meanings

Historically and currently, comprehensive sex education leaders overemphasize the idea that humans are “sexual.” Additionally, when Mary Calderone established SIECUS based on Kinseyan ideology (with an emphasis on children being “sexual from [before] birth”) for the purpose of spreading the “awareness of the vital importance of infant and childhood sexuality,” what did she mean?

"Sexual from Birth"

Human beings are sexed beings – meaning they are male or female genetically, with this fundamental and fixed biological identity encoded into each person’s DNA from the moment of conception. But the reality of being “sexed” is different from what CSE proponents mean when they say children are “sexual.” A child only possesses the latent capacity (or the underdeveloped capacity) for eventual reproductive desires and activity that is matured over time.

This is different from other capacities with which humans are born; for example, humans are born with the immediate need for food and the capacity to process and utilize it.

A newborn does not need to be taught the desire to eat or how to eat; it happens naturally and is required shortly after being removed from the umbilical cord after birth. A human is born with a sex, but awareness of sexuality — including the desires and cognitive grasp of a sexual act's natural purpose (the capacity to sexually reproduce) — is a capacity that matures slowly and is intrinsically linked to the holistic development of the individual’s physical, cognitive, and emotional faculties.

Sexual intimacy for human beings is made even more purposefully than just procreation — human sexual intimacy also creates profound physical and emotional bonds between partners. 

What Calderone meant by spreading “awareness of the vital importance of infant and childhood sexuality,” was that society needed to replace reality with distorted views (incest as harmless, etc.) matching her own.

The architects and current proponents of CSE, like Planned Parenthood, calculatedly blur the distinction between humans as “sexed” (male and female) and humans as “sexual” (with desires ordered toward sexual activity and reproduction).

In Kinsey’s book, “Sexuality of the Human Male,” for example, Kinsey claimed the pedophiles he used to obtain his so-called “research” collected semen from the infants and children they abused, and then used this as ‘evidence’ to support the claims that the child victims received “pleasure” from the abuse. Any rational adult would correctly identify this as outright abuse and as a total betrayal of adults’ responsibility to protect children from having their bodies violated. These erroneous distortions are intentional, and these perverse concepts remain at the core of modern day CSE.

Dehumanizing the human 

This tactic of intentionally distorting words and their meanings to dehumanize is duplicated multiple times over by CSE proponents. 

In CSE curriculum such as Planned Parenthood’s “Sex Ed To Go” (SETG) program. Planned Parenthood’s SETG program reduces preborn human beings who are physically composed of trillions of cells to merely “clumps of cells” that “looks similar to dryer lint.”

Utilizing debunked photographs, Planned Parenthood’s curriculum aims to dehumanize the preborn human child living and growing inside of the mother’s womb by depicting him/her as nothing of consequence. But this intentional distortion of reality perpetrated by Planned Parenthood could never actually replace the truth. 

The truth is that from the moment of conception, an individual human being is human and is alive, evidenced by the continued growth and further development of trillions of unique human cells and DNA.

Why It Matters:

The ‘Rewiring’ of Minds 

CSE propagandists like Planned Parenthood and FoSE members use a combination of SAR tactics and materials in combination with the intentional distortion of words and their meanings as part of its effort to indoctrinate and deceive. 

SAR tactics and techniques bombard the participant for the intended purpose of prematurely arousing sexual knowledge. SAR is used as part of the deception, SAR tactics help to initiate the trauma bonding experience used to “re-wire” and “reform” the participant’s perceptions, and the distorted words and meanings set by CSE helps to achieve the desired outcome of widespread acceptance of sexual deviancy. 

In the U.S. Supreme Court case Free Speech Coalition v Paxton, an amicus brief submitted by the Matthew XVIII group and the Reisman Institute explained the physical changes to a person’s brain after exposure to sexually explicit material:

"Sexually explicit images such as those used in SAR to train sex educators and then by sex educators in classrooms have profound effects on the human brain, particularly on the underdeveloped brains of children.” 

These groups say this results in physical and psychological changes to the child’s brain by “trigger[ing] a chemical reaction that mimics the response to addictive substances.” 

In the case of minors’ developing brains, the brief further explains that initiating the premature production of “naturally occurring psychoactive substances” could have life-long negative consequences. This attempt to "restructure" a child’s brain is reinforced by pornographic content found in books, toys, social media, the internet, and AI chatbots.  

Devastating Societal Impacts 

Within the filed amicus brief, Audrey Warner, a former practitioner of school-based sex ed, detailed the devastating reality of the "trauma bonding" fostered by CSE.

Warner’s testimony recounted her work on a case involving a 10-year-old boy who had purportedly sexually assaulted two younger girls, ages two and four. Warner discovered that the boy was replicating the “sexual stimuli he had witnessed through exposure to sexual materials” provided to him through CSE programs. 

The pornographic material and sexualized content in CSE primes and encourages children to use graphic pornography, which some – like Warner and author Kristen Jenson – believe is to blame for the rising number of allegations of child-on-child sexual assaults. 

During a recent interview with the Epoch Times, Jenson stated, “Child-on-child sexual abuse…has skyrocketed… when I first started talking about the issue, it was at 40%... It’s now 70%.”     

In 2020, Politico reported an overall spike (over 50%) in sexual violence reported in public K-12 schools from 2015-16 to 2017-18 school years. The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights issued clarifications on the reported cases in a December 2022 Issue Brief Explainer, although the department did not provide any distinction in the data between adult-on-child and child-on-child assault cases.

The Explainer highlighted some categories such as reported cases of alleged rape or attempted rape, which saw an increase of over 70%.
