There was a great victory in Nebraska recently!
A proposed Nebraska K-12 public school “health” curriculum that included an outrageous array of topics was derailed. It had faced early criticism by the Governor and other politicians. But then came months of heavy pressure from parents across the state, spearheaded by the Nebraska’s MassResistance affiliate group. As a result, the State Board of Education tried modifying the proposed curriculum, then voted to table it indefinitely.
Nebraskans for Founders’ Values (NFFB), one of Nebraska’s pre-eminent pro-family groups, has been a MassResistance affiliate since 2016 – when they took on the Omaha School Board over imposing pro-transgender policies and radical sex-ed curriculum on the city’s students.
But their greatest successes have been statewide, getting pro-family bills passed and bad bills stopped in the State House. NFFB’s organizing experience includes holding training workshops across Nebraska for pro-family activists.
The big push gets started
Unlike many states, Nebraska does not currently have a statewide K-12 “health” curriculum. This past year, the leftists and sexual radicals in the state’s Department of Education (DOE) were hoping to change that. A special DOE committee was formed to draft the new curriculum. The State Board of Education – eight members elected from districts across the state – were all leftist Democrats (a testament to voters not paying attention) and were eager to approve the curriculum. This was a freight train ready to go!
New trend in statewide “health” curricula
There is a very disturbing new trend in statewide “health” curricula for public school students, especially in relatively conservative states like Nebraska.
Under the banner of “health,” the left-wing bureaucrats deceptively weave in a range of odious topics. These include comprehensive sexuality and birth control, normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism (“gender identity), “Diversity and Inclusion,” and “Social Emotional Learning” (SEL).
“Diversity and Inclusion” is a deceptive term for Critical Race Theory (as well as LGBT issues). “Social Emotional Learning” is less well-known but extremely intrusive and ominous. (See here and here.) Starting in Kindergarten and continuing through all the grades, SEL seeks to mold children’s thinking processes and values away from how parents might teach them into politically correct and non-individualistic approaches to everyday life situations.
Proposed health curriculum is unveiled
On March 11, 2021, the State Board of Education unveiled the new 60-page proposed K-12 “health” curriculum. It was comprehensive – and alarming.
The outrage by parents across the state was swift. One week later, NFFV released a five-page list of the obvious “red flags” in that document.
NFFV began spreading the word and meeting with parents across the state. At one NFFV workshop, parents met with Mark Bonkiewicz, the NFFV leader, to ask what they could do. Mark worked closely with them to form Protect Nebraska Children Coalition (PNCC), a g
