As we reported, Tucson Unified School District has at least one sitting Board member who owes Planned Parenthood big time for her successful elections.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Adelita Grijalva <\/a>used Planned Parenthood’s endorsements and DC money via her father, Congressman Raul Grijalva, to snag a seat on Tucson Unified School District’s (TUSD) governing\u00a0board.<\/p>\n

\"grijalvaWhy do we care about Ms. Grijalva’s dad?\u00a0 Take a look at his voting record<\/a> on abortion.\u00a0 Note the 100% rating by NARAL, one of the nation’s leading advocates for abortion.\u00a0 This appears to be a family affair.<\/p>\n

This spring, TUSD has been discussing making a policy change to their sex ed instruction,\u00a0which would then lead to developing a new, updated curriculum.\u00a0 After all, it is 2016, what about sex has changed in 10 years?<\/p>\n

The date is set, the governing board will meet on June 14, 2016.\u00a0 One of the board members, Mr. Mark Stegeman, does not see a problem at this point with the direction the board is going as seen in his response to a parent who urged him to vote against any Planned Parenthood curriculum:<\/p>\n

\"stegemanMaybe he’s correct, but there is reason to be concerned.\u00a0 If you listen to the audio <\/a>from TUSD’s April 19, 2016 board meeting, you’ll hear some critical information at the one hour mark.\u00a0\u00a0Board members admit\u00a0the proposed policy revision includes language developed by Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

About two minutes later, Superintendent H.T. Sanchez plays an obnoxious video that uses youth to demand comprehensive sex ed.\u00a0 This is not a surprise because Planned Parenthood has been forging relationships with teenagers in a variety of ways.\u00a0 In the four-minute video, the young female narrator bashes abstinence-only sex ed and refers to “European Progressive Sex Ed”.\u00a0 She explains Europeans focus on positive sex, not the dangers.\u00a0 Remember this\u00a0score\u00a0card\u00a0that Planned Parenthood circulated to school districts in Arizona, around the time Tempe Union was voting on FLASH?<\/p>\n

\"pp<\/p>\n

The fact that the young girl in the TUSD video does not approve of abstinence only curriculum is no coincidence with the failing grade PP gives those programs, right?<\/p>\n

Why doesn’t Superintendent Sanchez play a video of students bashing drinking laws and instead focus on how much fun it is to drink underage?\u00a0 If sex is okay for unmarried teenagers, they might as well enjoy it with a beer or two.<\/p>\n

Later in the presentation, Superintendent Sanchez explains the district will have avenues to explore to develop the curriculum.\u00a0 He didn’t say whether the avenues are paved with Pink<\/span>, but it’s looking like a strong possibility.\u00a0 Why else would Planned Parenthood of Arizona retweet this:<\/p>\n
