Knox county, TN resolves parents complaints about PP by not allowing any outsiders to present sex ed info

 Knox County, TN reports that following complaints from parents about the presentation Planned Parenthood that they have decided to cancel all outside groups from presenting and will use their own educators along with reps from the local health dept. I am not usually a fan of the educators from the Health Dept. because they are pretty much Planned Parenthood lite.

"Outside agencies will no longer be able to provide information to students about human sexuality under a decision made public Friday by Knox County Schools Superintendent Jim McIntyre.
The presentations will be conducted by the district's health educators and members of the Knox County Health Department."
The review, which involved staff from the school system, the Health Department and Carson-Newman College, found that Planned Parenthood's curriculum was "generally … very appropriate and tightly aligned with specific academic standards required within the Tennessee curriculum."
McIntyre added that because the group's website was shared with students, its contents were also inspected.
The site "did contain material that was outside what is approved in the Tennessee Family Life curriculum, and provided links to material that would clearly be inappropriate for classroom use and could understandably have been regarded as objectionable by some parents," he said in his memo.
