A 🧵:
SIECUS, The Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, began in '64 w/Dr. Mary Calderon, a Medical Director at Planned Parenthood. They're pushing Comprehensive Sexuality Education nationwide for grades K-12.

According to this linked article, Playboy and/or Hugh Hefner supported SIECUS financially. So, were they connected to the porn and/or sex toy industry? If they were, are they still? ...

Important to note that SIECUS is a recommended resource by the CA Dept. of Ed. under the California Healthy Youth Act and the CA Health Framework. The Future of Sex Ed (FoSA) (exposed in my recent thread) is also a resource there:

SIECUS held a Webinar Series on topics pertaining to Comprehensive Sexuality Education. At least one such webinar was, "intended for parents, students, educators, school administrators..."
The webinar series was sponsored by b-Vibe, a sex toy company wanting to advance CSE.
A Sept. 14, 2020 Press Release on an erotic retail website discusses b-Vibe sponsoring the SIECUS webinar series.
They expressed *thrill to partner w/SIECUS on topics a part of:
“b-Vibe’s mission to make sex-positive education available to everyone."

The President and CEO of SIECUS announces the sponsorship of b-Vibe and their goals:
SIECUS & Comprehensive Sexuality Ed promote sex-positivity...you may wonder what that means?
It's a loaded term & history. These articles discuss it in fantasies, pleasure, feminism, porn, sex work, CSE, etc.

At one of the SIECUS webinars, the host shares about advancing Comprehensive Sex Ed and says, "We are joined by some amazing experts in the field." One of their experts has spoken several times at the Adult Video News Conference in Las Vegas.
Their same *expert* has spoken about BDSM and kink on the following media podcast:

One of the SIECUS webinars discussed Sexual Citizenship. SIECUS & Sexual Citizenship are mentioned below from Stanford University. What happens on college & university campuses will influence K-12 schools. Some resources here already exist in K-12.

SIECUS has a new activism launch called, "Educate Us: SIECUS in Action", to bring their Comprehensive Sexuality (pleasure-focused) Education to K-12 nationwide.

They are also working to train people nationwide through a new Sex Ed Collaborative effort that focuses on the same lenses of social justice, intersectionality, etc. that I exposed in the recent FoSE thread.

SIECUS is connected to UNESCO (see link).
FoSE, SIECUS, Amaze, Planned Parenthood and many others are all connected. This is a Kinsey-related agenda to bring systemic change through their radical ideologies and graphic sex education.
Stand up to this.

Parents and community members are right to question this agenda and stand up to it. When you hear of books like GenderQueer, Beyond Magenta, or S.E.X. by Heather Corinna used in public schools, that's Comprehensive Sexuality Education and this will worsen over time.
Is this content grooming? For me, undoubtedly. SIECUS also recommends Scarleteen which produces content like this:
