民意调查：德州中小学性教育课程教学大纲修订

State Board of Education（德州教委，简称SBOE）计划从2019年开始审查和修改Kindergarten到12年级的性教育及健康课程教学大纲（TEKS—Sex Education and Health Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills)。目前正在使用的教学大纲是从1998年开始实施的。此次修订流程包括由一系列工作小组向SBOE提供修改意见。为此，Texas Education Agency (TEA）已经开始进行民意调查，并将根据收集到的素材信息，为工作小组提供修改意见。

近些年来，有些左派团体积极、有组织地参与了美国各州性教育及健康教学大纲的修改，试图以此冲击传统的性教育及健康理念，改变整个社会的基本价值观。例如，他们极力主张将同性恋及变性内容引入性教育及健康课程。这些内容现在已经被写进加利福尼亚等州的性教育及健康课大纲。这次，他们将利用德州修改教学大纲的机会，挑战德州人的传统价值观，试图在德州公立学校性教育课程的第一年(Kindergarten)就引入性取向（sex orientation）和性别认同（gender identity）这样的字眼。此外，这些团体还想削弱德州现行大纲中对性节制（abstinence）的要求。

面对他们的挑战，有责任感的父母应该站出来对他们大声说“不”。我们需要让他们知道父母才是孩子性教育中的主导；让他们知道父母对学校性教育课程的内容有知情权和监督权；让他们知道提倡在校期间不发生性关系符合家长的理念。为了保护我们的传统理念不被侵蚀，保证我们下一代的身心健康成长，请大家行动起来，积极参与这次民意调查。
