Planned Parenthood Approved in Knox County Schools?

Are your children and grandchildren being taught radical views of teen sexuality by America's largest abortion provider?  If your students are in Knox County's public schools, the answer is - quite possibly.  In a newsletter released by Planned Parenthood of Middle and East Tennessee (PPMET), PPMET-Knoxville representative, Ginny Ramseyer Winter, claims Knox County School officials have approved five PPMET lesson plans for Lifetime Wellness classes.  According to Winter, PPMET's instructors are now available to all thirteen Knox County high schools. 

This seems to coincide with a new initiative by Planned Parenthood of New York City, who recently announced their We're Going to the Principal's Office campaign, which is designed to persuade school principals to utilize Planned Parenthood's curriculum for sex ed training. 

Parents are encouraged to learn more about Planned Parenthood's radical views on teen sexuality by visiting TeenWire,  TakeCareDownThere, or FYI:Educating Peers About Sex (NOTE: Access to this Facebook Group was closed to the public after this article appeared).  WARNING: These websites contain graphic content.  To prevent Planned Parenthood from gaining access to your schools, contact your school administration, school board members and prinicpals.
