Safeguarding innocence in education

Our children deserve to attend school, explore library books, and engage in classroom activities without the threat of exposure to graphic sexual content. And our parents deserve to know exactly what is being taught in their children’s classrooms. The Education Bill 2025 is our commitment to preserving their innocence and ensuring that educational materials, library resources, and sex education are age-appropriate. This legislation firmly supports the right of our students to learn in a safe environment free from explicit material, thereby protecting their developmental journey and respecting family values.

What Does this bill do?

It establishes rigorous standards for library materials, restricts inappropriate content in educational settings, and enforces robust parental oversight in sex education and health services. This legislation is designed to ensure a safe and supportive educational environment that respects parental rights and promotes high educational standards.

Key Points of the Bill:

  • Standards for School Libraries:
    • Establishes the Georgia Council on Library Materials Standards tasked with creating rigorous criteria for all school library content and instructional materials.
    • Ensures that no materials harmful to minors or sexually explicit content are accessible without strict controls, including parental consent for older students.
  • Regulations on Sex Education:
    • Introduces structured, age-appropriate sex education, focusing on abstinence and the social and legal implications of early sexual activity.
    • Removes sex education in elementary schools. 
    • Mandates that all sex education programs emphasize self-respect, handle peer pressure effectively, and promote local community values, with a clear option for parental opt-out.
  • Management of Student Records and Pronouns:
    • Prohibits schools from altering a student’s official records—specifically names or pronouns—without written consent from parents or guardians, ensuring parental involvement in sensitive decisions.
    • Sets guidelines to ensure that all communications and records reflect biological sex unless otherwise authorized by parents, reinforcing privacy and accuracy in student records.
  • Guidelines for Classroom Discussions:
    • Places strict boundaries on discussions around sexual orientation and gender identity, ensuring they are appropriate for the educational setting and maturity levels of students.
    • Prohibits the discussion of deeply personal or explicit content in classroom settings.
Real Life Examples

Inappropriate Books in Schools & Libraries: 

Books like Gender Queer, This Book is Gay, and All Boys Aren’t Blue contain graphic sexual content have been found in school libraries without parental consent, accessible to children as young as 11.

Warning: Explicit Content (Source: IWF)

  • “Gender Queer” recounts the author’s life and confusion surrounding gender and sexuality. Several scenes reveal the main character’s desire to remove her breasts and get rid of her period. Most of the book focuses on the author’s desire to change gender. One scene illustrates a sexting exchange with another biological female: “I got a new strap-on harness today. I can’t wait to put it on you. It will fill my favorite dildo perfectly…I’m going to give you the blow job of your life then I want you inside of me.” Another scene describes the main character’s visit to the San Francisco armory, which was bought by a BDSM pornography producer for filming. The American Library Association awarded “Gender Queer” the Alex award for its “special appeal to young adults, ages twelve through eighteen.”
     
  • One of the chapters in “This Book is Gay” is titled “The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex.” The author details different kinds of sexual acts and techniques for performing them. For example: “Oral sex is popping another dude’s peen in your mouth or popping yours in his.” “If you want to have anal sex, one of you is going to have to go ‘top’ (the one who puts his willy in) and the other ‘bottom’ (the one who gets the willy up his bum).” “That clitoris really does like being licked and kissed. Again, girls can take it in turns to perform oral sex or, if feeling adventurous, they can perform it at the same time.” At a school board meeting in North Carolina, a mother read passages from this book in front of committee members. Children are encouraged to leave the room around the 1-hour mark. This book has been found in several middle school libraries across the country.

  • “All Boys Aren’t Blue” is a memoir of a queer black person. One of the scenes graphically recounts the narrator’s first sexual encounter. The author writes: “He quickly went to giving me head…He then came up and asked if I wanted to try on him…As an avid porn watcher, the only thing I knew about anal sex previously was that it was painful.” While this book is recommended for ages fourteen to eighteen by the publisher, parents have found it in middle school libraries. Middle schoolers are usually ages ten to thirteen.  

Inappropriate Sex Education:

Planned Parenthood is the number one funder of sex ed programs in schools. Here are just a few examples of their curriculum: 

Common Questions

FACT: Not at all. While banning exactly ZERO books from publication or possession by any Georgia citizen, this act prevents taxpayer-funded schools from being weaponized to expose children to harmful sexual materials. Think of the bill as a guideline similar to movie ratings—they don’t ban movies but categorize them to ensure they’re appropriate for certain ages.

FACT: It is always a tragedy when children are exposed to sexualized content too early, which can spark an unhealthy curiosity too early, as well as give them a degrading and unrealistic picture of normal, healthy sexual activity and human sexuality in general.

The fact that children are exposed to worse in other aspects of society in no way justifies the failure of public institutions to restrict their access to harmful materials within taxpayer-funded platforms.

FACT: This is false. Works of great literary or religious value (classic fiction, the Bible, etc), which may contain archaic references to sexuality in a manner NOT offensive to minors, are exempt under this law.

FACT: Inappropriate materials and sex ed courses are happening across many school districts. Recently, it came to light that the video below is a part of Planned Parenthood’s curriculum that is shown in schools and designed for children.
