Parents for Truth

With the advent of a statewide policy in NM prohibiting abstinence education in public school grades seven and above and the refusal of federal funding for abstinence education, parents are urged to participate in a new program – Parents for Truth. Sign up online - membership is free!

Abstinence education empowers teens to avoid risk by making good health decisions, regardless of their sexual history. Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) assumes teens do not have the ability to avoid sexual experimentation [just like animals], so most of their time is spent talking about sex and the use of condoms and other forms of contraception. CSE assumes teens will engage in high risk sexual behavior and are content to merely reduce the risk of that behavior. Organized efforts are underway in every state to replace abstinence education with comprehensive sex education. Parents are being misled by about the true content of comprehensive sex education programs being taught in their children’s classrooms. Expose the truth, your child’s health and future is at stake.
