What is CSE (Comprehensive Sexuality Education)?
Why it's NOT "Sex Ed"
In 1947, Dr Alfred Kinsey conducted research into sexuality at the Kinsey Institute in Indiana. He set out to prove that children are sexual from birth, and that promiscuous sexual behaviors among all ages are normal and healthy. Part of his research involved the abuse of children by pedophiles who measured the “orgasms” of children. Squirming, screaming and convulsions were counted as orgasms.
The following is a table from his report documenting the abuse of children.
Dr. Mary Calderone, a Kinsey enthusiast, had been the medical director of Planned Parenthood when in 1964, using seed money from Hugh Hefner of Playboy magazine, she founded the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, known as SIECUS. Another founding board member of SIECUS was Wardell Pomeroy who claimed among other things that religious taboos were too restrictive, and that physical pleasure should have no boundaries. Also, that “it is time to admit that incest can be beneficial”.
SIECUS (along with Planned Parenthood, Advocates for Youth, and Answer) invented the National Sex Education Standards (NSES). The National Sex Education Standards define CSE. Therefore, SIECUS, a political advocacy group, invented CSE. These standards can be found on the SIECUS website and are linked HERE.
According to influencewatch.org, SIECUS primarily advocates against abstinence education and against parental rights bills.
This is not an educational group, not a government agency, not a medical group. It is a political group. Somehow they have convinced many states and school districts that they are experts on teaching children about sex. Their own web site proudly announces their goal of social engineering using Sex Ed as a tool.

We highly recommend that you peruse their web site and look up the Nebraska page.
“In the early 2000s, SIECUS further refocused its efforts to prioritize advancing progressive sex education policy across the country, working to affect change at federal, state, and local levels. In 2019, as SIECUS marked its 55th year in operation, the organization officially renamed to “SIECUS,” dropping its former spelled out title and adding the tagline: Sex Ed for Social Change.
While maintaining the belief that sex education is necessary for providing young people with the information they need to ensure their own lifelong sexual health and well-being, SIECUS: Sex Ed for Social Change began asserting that it can also do more than that; sex education has the power to spark large-scale social change. SIECUS is not a single-issue organization because sex ed, as SIECUS envisions it, connects and addresses a variety of social issues. Sex ed sits at the nexus of many social justice movements—from LGBTQ rights and reproductive justice to the #MeToo movement and urgent conversations around consent and healthy relationships.”
By “reproductive justice” they mean abortion. By “consent” they mean at any age.
Core NSES philosophies upon which CSE are based include:
• Children are naturally sexual from birth, therefore any restrictions on their sexual expression or sexual activity violates their sexual rights.
• To have good health, children and adults alike should be having regular sexual experiences either alone (masturbation) or with persons of either gender.
• A right to sexual pleasure, even at the youngest ages is a primary human right that trumps other rights.
• Children have privacy and confidentiality rights that trump the rights of their parents to guide their education in the area of human sexuality.
• Children have a right to abortion and to sexual relations without the knowledge and consent of their parents.
• Most societal sexual and gender norms, especially those based in religious beliefs are repressive and unhealthy and should be changed.
• Children have the right to experiment with diverse sexual identities and orientations and the behaviors associated with them in order to develop a healthy sexuality.
• Youth are to be enlisted to combat “homophobia,” “transphobia” and “heterosexism” and to advocate for their sexual rights,
• Youth should be involved in the design and implementation of CSE programs.
• Children, under internationally recognized rights to health and education, have a right to all sexual information, uncensored and without parental consent.
Let’s look at the other contributors to the NSES, Planned Parenthood sells abortions and transgender hormones, so their interest is obvious. John Santelli is the chair of SIECUS’s board of directors, and also a senior consultant for the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, which was founded as a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood.
Advocates for Youth www.advocates for youth.org, is the political action and curriculum retrieval site for the movement, encouraging youths to mentor each other as “activists.”
“Young people understand that reproductive and sexual health and rights are inextricably tied to social justice and the fight for liberation. Join thousands of youth activists and adult allies as we build a better and more equitable world."
The site provides free downloadable copies of the CSE curriculum called “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” also known as “3 R’s”. It is the curriculum that Omaha Public Schools partially implemented in 2016, in 7th, 8th, and 10th grades. The site also encourages student protest and “direct action”. A major donor to Advocates for Youth is the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, a foundation that also strongly supports Planned Parenthood.
There are several available curricula that meet the CSE Standards for K-12. Those curricula are focused on sexual rights (at any age), sexual pleasure (beginning in second grade), and risk reduction vs the traditional tenant of risk avoidance or abstenence. They promote (not just educate but actively promote) transgender, gender fluidity, and abortion beginning in kindergarten and continuing through every grade level. They all contain a healthy dose of critical race theory and “social justice” lessons. See examples of curricula and evaluations under Defenders Toolkit on our website at www.protectnebraskachildren.org
In the Toolkit are analyses of several different CSE curricula and the harmful elements they contain. One example is the Rights, Respect, and Responsibility used by Omaha and now Gordon-Rushville schools. See the examples HERE. Once you get past the cis-gender lessons for first graders, the gay pride flag lessons for 3rd graders, the copulation lessons for 4th graders. and the video on how to start puberty blockers for 5th graders HERE, keep going.
Keep scrolling to see the bonus lessons on critical theory, transgender as a marginalized group, how to use preferred pronouns, Christianity as an oppressor, and referrals to sites like blacktranstv.com or Planned Parenthood.
In case you think your school has escaped CSE, you would be wrong. The concepts are all baked into the “Transformative SEL” that your district is most likely pushing.
Traditional Sex Ed focuses on biology and responsibility. In CSE the biology is the same, but the tone is different. Students are taught they have responsibility for their own consent and sexual pleasure, rather than the health and emotions of another person. They learn that abortion is an easy every day occurence. Most damaging of all, the clear message from K-12 is “your parents are dinosaurs who don’t undestand you and stand in the way of your sexual and transgender journey.”
This insidious alteration in the culture of your kids, as they reject the culture and traditions you raised them with, is the “social change” that SIECUS is aiming for.
