TAMPA, Fla. - A new sex education curriculum is getting some pushback from Hillsborough County parents. A petition with thousands of signatures opposing the curriculum prompted a school district special hearing.
The new curriculum that was approved back in September drew in dozens of parents and activists for the special hearing. More than 40 speakers spent hours Thursday voicing their objections.
"The curriculum is morally reprehensible and unnecessarily graphic," said one speaker at the hearing.
There have been concerns about instruction on everything from contraception to gender identity.
The district said the curriculum meets state standards, and the sex education lessons cover 7th, 8th and 9th grades. They said the curriculum does emphasize abstinence to prevent pregnancy and disease, and it was reviewed by community members and attorneys.
Parents and community members on both sides of a debate about sex education in Hillsborough County Schools will have the chance to be heard during a meeting Thursday.
The hearing was in front of an impartial hearing-master who will make recommendations based on what was heard at the meeting. Once a recommendation is given to the school board, they could vote to alter the lesson plans or keep them the way they are.
Parents do have an opt-out option within the district, but another concern some parents had was that the form is too vague about reasons they might want to kep their kids out of the classes.
The district's attorney also spoke at the hearing, pushing back against many accusations made by parents.
"So 91% of the students who took the test, felt it was age appropriate for them? That’s correct," attorney Jeff Gibson said.
The recommendations are expected to be ready in about two to three weeks. Once the material is given to the school board, they should take a vote at the next available hearing, likely in mid-December before Winter Break.

They were among more than 3,000 who petitioned the district to change the lessons for kids in grades 7 to 9.

TAMPA — Incensed by the Hillsborough County School Board’s choice of sex education curriculum in September, more than 3,000 parents and other residents petitioned the district in hopes of forcing a change.
On Thursday, dozens of the objectors urged an independent hearing officer to recommend that the board drop its choice and start over. They told retired judge Claudia Isom that the curriculum did not encourage abstinence-based lessons, as state law requires if sex education is taught, and that many of the materials are inappropriate for students in seventh through ninth grades.
Several specifically objected to links to websites such as amaze.org, which they said provided questionable information about gender identity and sexual orientation.
“Our seventh graders are 12-year-olds. Our 12-year-olds should be innocent children. They should not be exposed to this material,” said Kathleen Brown of Valrico, who noted she does not have children in the age groups.
Opponents argued that the material should be about health education, not sex, yet the lessons do not adhere to science because they state that gender is on a spectrum.
“That is completely false,” said speaker Cody Powell. “Gender is not on a spectrum like autism. There are two genders, male and female.”
Many doctors disagree. In a 2018 statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics expressed strong support for transgender and gender-diverse youth, noting the latter term “is used to acknowledge and include the vast diversity of gender identities that exists.”
Others at Thursday’s hearing challenged the use of detailed drawings of genitals, paired with lessons to have mixed groups discuss them.
“This is the beginning, and the content becomes more damaging as the lessons progress,” said Jessica Graham, leader of the Moms for Liberty Hillsborough County chapter.
Those concerns about the content, paired with misgivings about the process in adopting the curriculum, led to the overall consensus among speakers that Isom should tell the board in forceful and clear terms that it should go in a new direction.
“As a voice of we the people I am requesting the offensive material approved by the school board be removed from the classroom,” pastor Travis Smith said.
After 24 petitioners made their arguments, school district lawyer Jeff Gibson presented the district’s perspective.
He first addressed the procedural questions, contending that the district provided the required amount of time for the public to review and speak to the materials being considered. He further suggested that such matters should not be subject to Isom’s review as they were not made in the formal petitions or elsewhere.
He then laid out the Florida laws relating to the requirements that schools teach health education, arguing that the district followed all the mandates. With the help of health education supervisor Ashlee Cappucci, he also spoke to the petitioners’ complaints about the content.

Cappucci said the curriculum does not speak to genders other than male and female, though it does refer to biological sex when discussing anatomical parts. She said the district uses amaze.org videos, but not the inflammatory ones that the speakers referenced.
And she asserted that abstinence is a key component of the lessons.
“It’s covered 13 different times in the curriculum,” Cappucci said, calling it the only 100% effective way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
The board adopted the same materials a year ago, without objection, Gibson said. If anything, he added under questioning, this year’s version includes fewer items about gender identity and sexual orientation.
After the district finished, leaders of the opposition group got one more chance to speak.
Longtime conservative activist Terry Kemple, who spearheaded the effort, urged Isom to rely on common sense as well as the law in making her recommendation. He said the only reason people didn’t complain last year was that they did not know the curriculum was being presented.
The board has set a tentative date of Dec. 20 to review Isom’s written recommendation, if it is ready by then.
Several groups joined forces to organize the challenge. They were Ban Explicit Books in Schools, Community Issues Council, County Citizens Defending Freedom, Embracelife 911, Florida Citizens Alliance, Moms for Liberty Hillsborough chapter, Protect Our Children Project and Hillsborough County Whistleblower Jason Ferger.
Other area school districts have not faced similar challenges.
In Pinellas County, the school board adopted its abstinence-plus curriculum on Tuesday without any speakers rising in opposition, including the representative for the conservative group Moms for Liberty sitting in the audience. The Pasco County School Board approved its curriculum in the spring without incident, and received no complaints afterward.
Florida law requires school boards to publicly consider their sex education curriculum annually, to include an opt-out provision for families and to allow 30 days after adoption for parents and other county residents to file formal opposition to the materials.

The big story: Two years ago, Florida lawmakers required school districts to publish their sex education curriculum in advance of an annual adoption, to give the public more opportunities to weigh in.
Ever since, the subject has become increasingly volatile in some communities. Fights over content took place in Miami-Dade and Duval counties earlier this year, and this week the debate made its way to Hillsborough County.
Claiming the rights of parents as defined in Florida law were undermined, thousands of Hillsborough residents petitioned against the school district’s sex education curriculum. Several of them presented their views to an independent hearing officer during a nearly 5-hour hearing on Thursday.
During that time, they argued that the school district was presenting obscene information to children and attempting to indoctrinate youngsters with political concepts masquerading as science. District officials rebutted the contentions, saying they met all the requirements for providing reproductive health lessons as set forth in state law and standards.
Now it’s up to retired judge Claudia Isom to make a recommendation to the School Board, which still has final say over the issue. Read more here .

Sex education needs to have a place in teaching as part of a broader government strategy to protect children from sexual abuse, children’s rights commissioner Despo Michaelidou said on Friday.
Marking the European Day on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse on November 18, Michaelidou noted the state has a duty in educating parents on the matter too, so they are always alert and aware of the crucial role they have in helping their children.
“Sexual abuse is one of the worst forms of violence against a child. This day is one to serve as a reminder. A reminder to society and states to protect the rights of children against sexual violence.”
The day should be commemorated as a collective effort for zero tolerance against child abuse and taking drastic measures to protect them, she added.
Measures taken should aim to prevent and protect children from sexual abuse, as well as constantly evaluate dangers leading to sexual abuse, trafficking, harassment or any other situation which may have a negative impact on a child’s physical, emotional or psychological wellbeing.
Proper sex education should offer young people information important for their age, culture and opportunities to have an informed opinion about matters which concern them.
Last week, figures revealed 1,500 sexually abused children have turned to the Children’s House under the auspices of Hope for Children since 2017. The year 2021 had the biggest recorded spike of incidents, at 481 cases.
The figures reveal that 74.7 per cent of incidents were against females, and 25.3 per cent were on males. Perpetrators were primarily men, at 74.4 per cent.
