Somebody Tell Planned Parenthood Summer Camp Is For Good Clean Fun, Not Sex Ed

Planned Parenthood encourages children to live sexually promiscuous and confused lifestyles so they 'need' the products that the nation’s No. 1 abortion vendor sells.

Planned Parenthood pushes week-long 'sex ed summer camp'; entices teens with $150 gift card, free lunch



Planned Parenthood is offering $150 gift cards and free lunch for youth who participate in their week-long "sex ed summer camp," according to an advertisement posted by the Planned Parenthood Minnesota Advocate's Twitter account Thursday.

"I care passionately about the well-being of all children and the generation my kids are growing up alongside ... I think most families and most parents would firmly agree that we don't want people sexualizing our children, and that's exactly what this camp will do," a Minnesota mother-of-six identified only as "Karin" told Fox News Channel's Brian Kilmeade Sunday morning on "Fox & Friends Weekend."

The "camp" is for Mankato, Minnesota area youth ages 15-18. It is slated to run July 24 through July 28, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the advertisement posted by the @PPMM Twitter account says.

"Lunches are provided and participants receive a $150 gift card upon completion," the flyer also says.

The link included in the Twitter post leads to a Google form for potential participants to apply. On the form, the camp is described as a "sexual health peer education certification program."

Covered topics include sexual anatomy, birth control methods, sexually transmitted infections, healthy relationships, consent, and more, according to the sign up page.

"Participants will use knowledge they learn to educate friends and peers," the form says.

The application form requests personal details from potential participants like name, age, pronouns, email, and phone number. One section asks potential participants to write about "what excites/interests you about Sex Ed Summer Camp?"

An email address provided on the form for those requesting more information is from Planned Parenthood North Central States.

Parental permission is required for all youth programs according to PPNCS's sex education in Minnesota page. There is no parental permission question on the sex ed summer camp application form, however.

The PPNCS education page describes the organization's youth programs that "range from the opportunity to become a peer educator—sharing valuable reproductive health information to peers and family—to receiving tailored individual education about a variety of reproductive health topics."

"It's extremely disturbing that they're incentivizing this with money," Karin also told host Brian Kilmeade.

"I think it's a very fine line between giving a teen financial incentive to talk about sexual activity and role play things regarding it, verses crossing that line to actually physically performing that activity and getting paid for doing it," Karin also said.

TheBlaze sent a request for comment to the PPNCS email address included on the sign up form and to Planned Parenthood North Central States' media relations account Sunday morning, but did not hear back in time for publication.

Jewish Summer Camp Says It Will Bunk Biological Males With Girls

'Gender exists on a spectrum'

Calif. Gov. Newsom faces new scandal as he yanks his kids from summer camp with no mask requirement — but only after maskless photos emerge on social media



California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has removed his children from a summer camp after photos emerged showing his maskless son indoors with other unmasked children.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the summer camp did not require masks to be worn — a move that was in defiance of the state's COVID-19 guidance.

What are the details?

Newsom's communications director, Erin Mellon, told Fox News on Tuesday that the pictures prompted clear concerns. Newsom had two kids, ages 10 and 11, attending the day camp, Mellon said, according to the Associated Press.

"The Newsoms were concerned to see unvaccinated children unmasked indoors at a camp their children began attending yesterday," Mellon told the outlet. "Their kids will no longer be attending the camp."

According to the outlet, the state's guidance for children ages 2 to 11 states that all must be masked during "camps for youth, youth sports, and other youth activities, including theater, and music performances, and band."

After the photos emerged and Mellon's statement was circulated, a copy of the camp's mask policy — a policy that was reportedly sent to all parents before the camp began summer sessions — began making the rounds on social media and clearly stated, "Masks will not be enforced. Please know that your child is more than welcome to wear a mask during camp."

Following the controversy, the governor's office issued a follow-up statement stating that the Newsom family "reviewed communication from the camp and realized that an email was missed saying the camp would not enforce masking guidance."

What else?

Activist group Reopen California Schools made headlines with a tweet pointing out what it said was Newsom's hypocrisy.

The tweet read, "#Breaking Photos posted to Instagram reveal Gavin Newsom's 10-year-old son w/ other kids maskless, indoors & not distancing at a basketball summer camp, even while spectating. This is in clear violation of his own mask mandates. Why can his kid be maskless, but not ours?"

The tweet continued, "The photos were removed from the summer camp's Instagram account once Newsom's son was identified, but there is [sic] plenty of screenshots and video out there. We have some. The Instagram post occurs as Newsom pushes for increased vaccine rates if we ever want to be rid of masks."

What's Reopen California Schools?

According to the Sacramento Bee, Zachreson leads the Reopen California Schools group, which is a "parent advocacy group" that is suing the Newsom administration over its in-school mask mandates.

Earlier this month, state officials announced that all California students and educators would be required to wear masks while in school even if they are vaccinated.

The group, according to the outlet, pushed for public schools to reopen faster during the pandemic, and is now advocating for more relaxed restrictions as the 2021-22 school year gets ready to kick off.

Reopen California Schools "argues masks should be voluntary for students and teachers, and quarantine rules should be relaxed so kids aren't kept out of school even if they don't have symptoms just because of a COVID exposure," the outlet added.

Zachreson told the outlet that the incident highlights what he says is Newsom's hypocrisy.

"This clearly demonstrates that he doesn't believe there's a risk," he said. "His kids get to live by a different set of rules."

An unmasked Newsom faced scrutiny and criticism in November after photos showed him dining with a large, maskless group at an indoor restaurant..

CDC loosens mask guidance for summer camps



The CDC has eased its guidance on mask wearing and other COVID-19 suggestions for summer camps, updating their recommendations for kids weeks after youth ages 12 to 15 were made eligible for vaccination.

What are the details?

The update released Friday points out that coronavirus vaccines in the U.S. are now approved for everyone age 12 and up, and says that camps where everyone is inoculated against the virus may safely ditch masks and social distancing entirely. Although vaccinated people do not need to wear masks, the CDC recommends that camps support those who choose to continue wearing a facial covering.

The Washington Examiner pointed out that kids ages 12 to 15 were just made eligible to receive the Pfizer vaccine on May 12. As of CDC stats today, nearly 60% of children 12 and older have received at least one jab — a number high enough that the CDC sees opportunities for a "pre-pandemic camp experience," one official told The Washington Post.

"We have this whole group of adolescents who by mid- to late summer can be fully vaccinated," CDC Community Interventions and Critical Populations Task Force team lead told the newspaper. "Camps are at a point where they can offer an opportunity to have a camp setting where everyone is fully vaccinated."

For camps where not everyone is vaccinated — applying to every camp where kids under 12 are included — masks are still recommended by the feds indoors, but the CDC says that "in general, people do not need to wear masks when outdoors." Still, unvaccinated people should where masks outside when in "sustained close contact" situations with others who are not inoculated, the agency says.

The Post reported that the CDC's updated guidelines "remove some glaring inconsistencies between earlier camp recommendations that all staffers and campers wear masks and more recent announcements."

Two weeks ago, the CDC announced that fully vaccinated Americans could return to mask-free living with a few exceptions, and their update for youth camps comes just as the summer sessions begin.
