A Texas group is celebrating a win in their fight to block what they consider “harmful” sex education lessons in some Corpus Christi schools.
But it’s a bittersweet victory, say parents with the Nueces County chapter of County Citizens Defending Freedom.
That’s because a local nonprofit receives $412,208 annually through a two-year federal grant to persuade school districts throughout five South Texas counties to adopt the Making Proud Choices! (MPC) curriculum.
That U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grant program aims to spread that curriculum, and others like it, throughout the country. The stated goal is to cut down on teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
