Some parents are reporting that activist teachers are already pushing aspects of the new sex ed curriculum, especially in younger elementary grades. Many are wondering what to do in this instance. Here are my suggestions:
1. You need to submit a formal complaint, in writing, to your school principal, Superintendent and Trustee, detailing the incident and asking them to take steps to ensure it does not happen again, as you deem that material age-inappropriate for your child.
2. When the principal responds, be sure to tell them that you will be withdrawing your children from the school, and that you will not be registering them for next year, i.e. September 2015. If you have already registered them, ask that they be unregistered. (You can always re-apply in September and they will have to take you anyway). Anything less and they'll know you don't mean business.
3. Try to see/meet the teacher with your child present and give them a piece of your mind, in front of your child. This is important. Your child must see you challenging the activist. Be firm, do not lose your temper and make sure they understand that you do not approve and your child is not to listen to them when such matters are brought up again. Tell your child, in front of the teacher, that you do not trust the teacher, that the teacher is a stranger and not part of the family and that she is wrong. Make sure your child repeats this in front of the teacher. Hopefully, the teacher will lose their cool and get angry, if that happens, make sure you maintain your cool as your child will be watching you intently. Be cool, calm and collected. Let the activist blow their top and make sure your child sees it.
Enough for now. Mull the 3 points over and use them as a guideline for action with the activists.
