A Knoxville, Tennessee mother and daughter are voicing their disapproval of the speaker at the girl's mandatory sex education classes at school.Planned Parenthood is an approved speaker for the mandatory health classes at Hardin Valley Academy. Kymberly McCormick, the mother, says she had no idea what the clinic would be teaching her 16-year-old daughter.
"This is about us having a right as parents to control what our children are taught," she told a local television station. "I don't have an objection to the sex education. It's this group; it's their whole philosophy."
When her daughter, Alaynna, researched Planned Parenthood's website, she was shocked at how the links go well beyond what most parents would find acceptable.
"This is not about sexual education," contends Alaynna. "This is about sexual instruction and sexual encouragement. People assume that...a whole bunch of educators...have gone through this stuff. They assume that it's safe, and it's not."
The McCormick family hopes their experience might encourage parents nationwide to educate themselves on what their youngsters are being taught and whether Planned Parenthood is involved.
