Parents need to be aware of these tactics and not only closely watch and vet what their kids are watching and who they are listening to, but step up and have those conversations with their kids about self-image, confidence, and intimacy. Because really, if parents don\u2019t do their jobs, Planned Parenthood is happy to take over \u2013 and that is terrifying.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We&#8217;re working w\/<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sexedhonestly?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sexedhonestly<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SIECUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SIECUS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdvocatesTweets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AdvocatesTweets<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GLSEN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GLSEN<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HRC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HRC<\/a> to call for LGBTQ-inclusive sex ed:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cJksxIba4I\">https:\/\/t.co\/cJksxIba4I<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EqualSexEd?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EqualSexEd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Planned Parenthood (@PPFA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PPFA\/status\/672089271482884096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2015<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>On her website, Cline <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monicacline.com\/\">states<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Planned Parenthood trained me to educate youth about safer sex practices, and invited me to teach at their Sex Education Conferences for adolescents.
