Texas Moms Demand Revision of Textbook That Encourages Withholding Info From Parents

The Epoch Times Header

parental rights watchdog is calling on the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) to redact an online curriculum that it believes encourages withholding information from parents about their childโ€™s mental and physical health.

In an email sent to a board member about language included in textbook publisher Goodheart-Willcoxโ€™s instructional material, Moms for Liberty alleges that it undermines a parentโ€™s ability to access health information about their child.

The Epoch Times reviewed a copy of the email and the portion of the textbook in question.

โ€œGoodheart now does not comply with the law,โ€ wrote Mary Lowe, chair of the Tarrant County Moms for Liberty chapter, on May 18 to Pat Hardy, a Republican who has served on the board for some 20 years.

Lowe included in her email an excerpt from Goodheart-Willcoxโ€™s Health Instructional Material for High School, which allegedly states, โ€œPeople who provide mental health treatment are required by professional ethics to maintain confidentiality. This means the info you share will not be shared with anyone else, including your family members, school, or even a doctor.

โ€œThis confidentiality helps people feel comfortable sharing private information with a mental health professional. Confidentiality can only be broken if people express intent to harm themself or others, or report abuse or neglect that is currently occurring.โ€

Goodheart-Willcox did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

โ€œItโ€™s divisive of a family and it does not allow the family to parent their child,โ€ Lowe told The Epoch Times.

โ€œThere are a multitude of things they could be concealing. Certainly, sexual identity grooming can be going on, but even religious and cult grooming can be happening in these conversations.

โ€œThere are numerous other accounts across Texas where school counselors have taken girls for abortion and not let the parents know.โ€
