An education defense group is exposing what it says is the District of Columbia Public Schools “extreme” and “inappropriate” sexual education curriculum, where the terms male and female are avoided for elementary students and abortion is promoted as an option for pregnancy to high schoolers.
Senior Director of Communications for education defense group Defending Education Erika Sanzi told The Center Square that the District of Columbia Public Schools’ (DCPS) lessons “aren’t just inappropriate for children but they reveal that DCPS has embraced an ideology so extreme that it avoids using words like male and female and man and woman when teaching about reproduction and sexual anatomy.”
“The fact that students can’t be opted out of this madness just adds insult to injury,” Sanzi said.
DCPS uses the Rights, Respect, Responsibility (3Rs) curriculum for its sexual safety lessons, with such lessons being impossible for students to opt out of by DC law, according to DCPS’ website.
DCPS has not yet responded to The Center Square’s request for comment.
