BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA
Sex Ed Curriculum
Many parents wonder what is being taught in
K-12 Sex Education. Are the schools across the country really teaching Gender Ideology and showing pornographic material in the classroom?
Moms for Liberty Broward submitted a
Public Records request with the assistance of Florida Citizens Alliance to find out the answer to that question.
Our findings are quite disturbing. Please browse through for yourself to see the content in the Broward County Public Schools
Sex Ed Curriculum.

GROOMING?
"Child grooming refers to an act of deliberately establishing an emotional connection with a child to prepare the child for child abuse."

​
The language that is used in these lessons are grooming children from kindergarten to believe that gender is fluid and that basic biology is not difinitive. It encourages adults, that are not the parent or guardian, to engage in sexual conversations with minors as early as 5 years old.
The powerpoint images as well as the books corresponding to the lessons
are graphic and explicit. Again, it portrays the idea that children and adults
can view and interact with sexual material.
The curriculum introduces language and content that grooms children
to base gender on feelings. To confuse children about gender, coax them to believe a false reality and expose them to pornographic information without parental consent is
child abuse.
*QUOTED EXAMPLE- Grade 2, Lesson 1:
"You will notice that this lesson refers to “girls” and “boys” when
identifying body parts. The use of a binary construct of gender as
well as using gender (boys and girls) rather than the more accurate
biological sex (male and female) is purposeful given the developmental stage of students. Lessons in higher grades use more precise language and begin to introduce a broader concept of gender. This lesson does, however, acknowledge that “there are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have. Being a boy or a girl doesn’t have to mean you have those parts, but for most people this
is how their bodies are.” And, “Most people have a vulva and a vagina or a penis and testicles but some people’s bodies can be different. Your body is exactly what is right for you.”
