Recently\u00a0NotInOurSchools discovered federal grant money was being sent<\/a> to Maricopa County to teach kids sex ed.\u00a0\u00a0We requested taxpayers contact their supervisors to get some answers as to why this was approved and why the administrators chose curriculum linked <\/a>to Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

The first response a reader reported to us is summarized here<\/a>.\u00a0 Since none of the five County Supervisors answered our reader and instead\u00a0dumped their responsibility on Maricopa County’s Medical Director, Dr. Bob England, additional taxpayers contacted their Supervisors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It appears this email went directly to Supervisor Bill Gates’ personal email address.\u00a0 As of January 28th, the writer had gotten no response.\u00a0 If the writer knows the Supervisor’s private email address, they probably know each other to some degree.\u00a0 Why was there no response?\u00a0 (See update here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Another reader contacted all five Maricopa County Supervisors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This citizen did get a response, but once again it was not from any of the Supervisors.\u00a0 It was from Dr. Bob England and it was almost word for word the response he sent to the first inquirer.\u00a0 Here we go:<\/p>\n

\"\"Here’s the referral regarding Touchstone, the outside agency teaching kids sex ed.\u00a0 How do we know who the people are from Touchstone?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do they share our values?\u00a0 Have they been through background checks?\u00a0 Who gave Maricopa County the okay to teach sex ed?\u00a0 Does Touchstone possibly have an agenda to further their business?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Does Dr. England need permission from the federal government to use our tax money for a different program than what it was designated for?\u00a0 Dr. England says sex ed can morph into a drug prevention program which sounds beneficial, but what about the other way around?\u00a0 If federal money is designated for drug prevention, can it be used for sex ed, and would it be an opt-in program as designated by law in Arizona?<\/p>\n

Dr. England is sure Planned Parenthood does not make money from these sex ed relationships with the county.\u00a0 Maybe the county isn’t writing them a check directly, but it doesn’t take a medical degree to know Planned Parenthood makes money off their own “Making Proud Choices<\/a>” curriculum\u00a0every time it is sold.\u00a0 They also rake in the cash when kids and teens have to face the results of their promiscuous behavior both curriculums promote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyone who has gone to a school board or city council meeting has to sit through the elected officials dutifully patting each other on the back, singing each others’ praises.\u00a0 Dr. England’s statement that he and the elected leaders can be proud of how the funding has been delegated does just that.\u00a0 Nobody should dare question him or the County Supervisors.<\/p>\n

Dr. England and all Maricopa County Supervisors have forgotten who works for who.\u00a0 Any scrutiny on this sex ed issue could open the door for\u00a0additional questions about Dr. England’s decisions.\u00a0 He probably doesn’t want to\u00a0risk losing\u00a0this salary:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course,\u00a0the Supervisors want to protect their reputations until the next election.\u00a0 Maybe Maricopa County’s Fab 5 Supervisors will make an appearance when their elections get closer.<\/p>\n
