The battle lines have been drawn! Michigan parents are concerned about the hyper-sexualization of their children against the state-controlled education bureaucracy.
The Great Schools Initiative (GSI) is leading the charge with what is known as opt-out from rogue sex education in schools. GST is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that was created to restore parental control over what their children are being taught in schools, among other goals.
What is “rogue” sex education?
First of all, Michigan statutory law is very clear that sex education is to be confined to approved sex-ed classes with an approved curriculum by a trained sex-ed educator. The opinion by then-Attorney General Frank Kelley in 1981 said that “parents have a right to review the contents of any course in which family planning or reproductive health are discussed before they exercise their right to have their child excused from the class. School authorities may not void the effect of this law by including ANY sex education instruction in a required class. This is EXPRESSLY prohibited by law.” (1976 PA 451, Sec. 1507-3).
Furthermore, Michigan law does not mandate that sex education courses even have to be taught or required for graduation.
