Weekly Call to Action

A shocking audio recording reveals a 9th-grade lecture in Catalina Foothills discussing LGBTQ topics and attacking religion during health class, which is NOT part of the curriculum. This “Human Growth and Development Curriculum” uses the 2011 National Sexuality Standards, which were developed by progressive organizations like Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth and SIECUS (Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States: Sex Ed for Social Change).  

Arizona is an opt-in state for sexual education—so don’t opt in! Instead, fill out an opt-out form that clearly states what you don’t want your child exposed to, since these topics may also surface in non-sex-ed classes.  

If you live in the Catalina Foothills School District, contact SaveCFSD to get involved and join them at the next CFSD board meeting.  

If issues like this upset you, consider running for school board in your district so you can do your part to help safeguard kids. Contact us to get started!
