Planned Parenthood is reportedly “so desperate” to talk to children about sex that they’re now paying kids to attend a “sex ed” summer camp. No joke.
Last Thursday, the pro-abortion nonprofit’s Minnesota branch posted a tweet announcing a camp “for Mankato area youth ages 15-18.”
The camp will run from July 24th to July 28th, 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, and here’s the kicker: “Lunches provides and participants receive a $150 gift card upon completion!”

The application page, seen here, asks children to provide their name, their pronouns, their age, their email, and their phone number. Kids are also asked to specify what “excites/interests” them about the camp.
As for the covered topics, they include “sexual anatomy, birth control methods, sexually transmitted infections, healthy relationships and consent, and more!”
“Participants will use the knowledge they learn to educate friends and peers,” the application page reads.
There’s just one problem.
The website for Planned Parenthood North Central States (the group’s regional organization) explicitly notes that “[p]arental permission is required for all youth programs.”
Yet nowhere on the application is there a parental permission question.
Responding to Planned Parenthood Minnesota’s tweet advertising the camp, parents were quick to say “no.”
Look:
Hard no. Very, very no.

Is the $150 “gift card” just a $150 discount on your next abortion?

Wow. Disgusting. This is why parents don’t like your organization. DUH.

Only a groomer and/or pedophile would have any desire to talk to children about sex. There are no exceptions.

I am fine with sex education, but they talk about more than normal biology. They talk about BJ, anal sex, BDSM, and Beastiality, and that its ok for adults to diddle kids. Men can menstuate, have babies, and breastfeed. How you can be the opposite sex and surgeries to castrate…

Libs of TikTok added that “Planned Parenthood is so desperate to talk to your kids about sex and gender identity that they’re PAYING teens to attend a ‘sex ed summer camp.'”
That said, notice what Twitter user “MissPatriot” wrote about Planned Parenthood talking about way more than just traditional sex ed. She had a point.
“An elementary school in Washington state reportedly used sex education material from Planned Parenthood that included information about puberty blockers and graphics of pubic hair art,” Fox News reported early last month.
“[G]rade school students at Lincoln Elementary received a presentation from Teen Council, a sex-education program from Planned Parenthood, that caused outrage among some parents. The materials reportedly had neither ‘parental consent’ nor ‘district approval,’ and only came to light when children told their parents.”
Notice again the lack of parental consent.
But there’s more.
“In a recent social media post, Planned Parenthood referred to virginity as a “patriarchal” concept, prompting concerns that the nation’s largest abortion provider is encouraging individuals, particularly youth, to be sexually active,” The Christian Post reported at the start of July.

It’s for reasons like this that a Minnesota mother-of-six identified only as “Karin” believes no good can come from Planned Parenthood Minnesota’s upcoming camp.
“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,” she said Sunday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
“It’s extremely disturbing that they’re incentivizing this with money. 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, versus crossing that line to actually physically performing that activity and getting paid for doing it,” she added.
