I’ve recently been alerted to a relatively new abstinence-only-until-marriage organization popping up in southwest Ohio. The organization, called Maximum Freedom, Inc., claims to “empower students with medically accurate sexual health and relationship information to achieve a lifetime of Maximum Freedom.” Maximum Freedom, Inc. is currently seeking a Classroom Educator and interestingly, there seem to be no minimum requirements and limited training for this position. Apparently, all they need is a “commitment” to review the materials. Despite this, the description insists that “Our Educators are carefully selected to ensure that students, parents and schools will experience high quality sexual health and relationships education teaching based upon proven, medically accurate curricula.”
Really? Now compare that “educator” position to a recent job posting for a similar classroom and community health educator for an Ohio Planned Parenthood organization. Planned Parenthood is a universally recognized source for reliable, medically accurate and evidence-based sexual health education. They require a minimum of a bachelor degree and 1-3 years experience.
I wonder which educator most parents would prefer in their youth’s classroom. I know which one I would want.
