The money trail has to start somewhere, and in this case to nobody’s surprise the money to sexualize the children in Arizona’s largest county is coming from the United States federal government. As long as the federal government keeps dangling the money carrot, governments of all levels, not just schools, will grab and spend it. We are told it’s “free” money. The lower level government officials forget that we know these grants are provided by our taxes. And the biggest cost isn’t the actual greenbacks, but the harm to children and families that is done by some of these grants.
According to the Office of Adolescent Health (what ever happened to our neighborhood pediatrician), $749,000 was recently awarded to Maricopa County, home of Phoenix and its surrounding communities, to “reduce teen pregnancy.” 
At the bottom of the OAH’s Maricopa grant page is the contact information for Maricopa County, and an employee named Tracy Pedrotti is the email contact. We respect she is just doing her job for the county. However, the connections to the sex ed business are loud and clear. According to LinkedIn, Ms. Pedrotti is a health educator. Uh, oh.
In just a couple weeks, the National Sex Ed Conference will take place in Atlantic City. Whoo-hoo! As usual, when the rest of us are planning for Christmas and Hanukkah, decorating, and seeing family, Planned Parenthood squeezes this conference in while nobody will notice or care.

Somebody had to approve the acceptance of this grant money. Maricopa County is governed by a Board of Supervisors, comprised of one elected representative from five different areas of the county. This level of government is huge; some areas Maricopa County governs are the community colleges, courts, jails, air quality, and animal control among many others. Another large responsibility is the Maricopa County Board of Health. The county website lists the duties of the Board of Health in relation to the county’s governing Board of Supervisors.
Who comprises the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors?
