designing<\/a> a custom sex ed program “for the children”, it’s got to be implemented.\u00a0 It is not\u00a0acceptable for\u00a0governing boards to not at least appear to act in unison nor throw the hard work of a special committee under the bus. \u00a0School\u00a0boards don’t seem to “just say no” and thus we are suffering as a country and a culture.\u00a0 The non-medically accurate sex ed vote is set to take place on Monday, April 8th.<\/p>\nThere are a few problems surfacing this week.\u00a0 First of all, at the March 11, 2019 Governing Board meeting, Cara Herkamp, director of all obscene curriculum for Cave Creek, told the Board that parents who want to\u00a0review the sex ed curriculum would need to come to the district office.\u00a0 The obvious problem is the office is open during business hours only, the same hours the parents are working–those parents who are paying Ms. Herkamp’s salary.\u00a0 Parents who are first hearing about the curriculum this week are trying to find it and can’t.<\/p>\n
The curriculum could be accessed on-line, but unfortunately it’s not available.\u00a0 And it wasn’t available at the March 11th board meeting because\u00a0Ms. Herkamp\u00a0didn’t want the curriculum shared with non-parents or minors.\u00a0 What?\u00a0 Aren’t the 4th-8th graders who will be learning about oral sex, anal sex, and masturbation minors?\u00a0 Why does she protect random\u00a0children in the community from this disturbing material but not the district’s students?\u00a0 Watch the video from March 11, 2019 starting at the 1:13 mark.\u00a0 Then at 1:16 Ms. Herkamp explains she why she doesn’t want the curriculum in the wrong hands.<\/p>\n

Ms. Herkamp doesn’t want non-parents to view the material.\u00a0 All residents of Cave Creek pay property tax, therefore they have a vested interest in the success of the district and should have access to all curriculum.\u00a0 Also, other non-parents who do not live in Cave Creek pay federal taxes, of which some of that money is returned to the district.\u00a0 The real reason Ms. Herkamp is keeping the curriculum hidden is so it is swiftly passed.\u00a0 Who is she working for?\u00a0 Is she afraid the practicing Christians in the community will be offended they are being labeled as homophobic by school administration?<\/p>\n
Another concern about the pending vote is the Superintendent herself, Dr. Debbi Burdick.\u00a0 Some taxpayers have emailed the Governing Board asking them to Vote No on the new sex ed curriculum.\u00a0 Dr. Burdick responded by email for one of the board members.\u00a0 Why is she\u00a0answering for a board member?\u00a0 Why is Dr. Burdick controlling the narrative?\u00a0 She works for the Governing Board but she is speaking for them?\u00a0 What other employee\u00a0prevents their\u00a0boss from responding to a concern?<\/p>\n
For those who are planning to attend the board meeting at Cave Creek’s District Office on April 8, 2019 (33016 N. 60th St. Cave Creek) be prepared.\u00a0 You will be referred to as closed-minded, anti-science, homophobic, bigoted, pushing your agenda on others (there’s the pot calling the kettle) Bible-toting (badge of honor, bring it on), etc.\u00a0 These names aren’t new to you, they use them over and over because they don’t have facts.\u00a0 They resort to bullying the community, just as they are telling the community not to bully the LGBTQXYZ students.\u00a0 Be prepared, kettles.<\/p>\n
