The U.N.'s Shocking Sexuality Guidelines

During the summer slump, two United Nations agencies -- United Nations Economic, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) -- issued highly controversial new guidelines for sexuality education of children around the world.

These groups have a long history of pushing "reproductive health care," and the new report, International Guidelines on Sexuality Education, builds on an earlier report released by the International Planned Parenthood Federation to promote the "need and entitlement" for sexuality education for children beginning at age five.

In the view of the United Nations, sexuality education is the responsibility of "education and health authorities" not parents.

Teachers and doctors, so the liberal line goes, understand the big picture and have the conceptual understanding necessary -- the "rights based approach" that excludes parents and incorporates appropriate "practitioner experience and expert opinion." Excluding parents from the process keeps them from being aware of how frequently "sexuality education" indoctrinates against traditional values, especially "discrimination based on sexual orientation."

At the outset, the report makes it clear that "good" sexuality education should "take priority over personal opinion" -- which, being translated, means trample all over traditional morality.

The report states as fact that "teachers remain the best qualified and most trusted providers of information and support for most children and young people." [Last I checked, virtually all of those were government administered positions... - snip]

  • Five- to eight-year-olds are told that "touching and rubbing one's genitals ... ‘can feel pleasurable.'" They learn about "gender stereotypes" and that anybody (regardless of sexual status) can "raise a child and give it the love it deserves."
  • Nine- to twelve-year-olds learn how to get and use condoms, emergency contraception, the "signs and symptoms" of pregnancy, and all about sexual pleasure and orgasm. They learn that abortion is safe and discuss "homophobia, transphobia and abuse of power." They learn about their rights - to decide for themselves about whether to become a parent and to have access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART).
  • Twelve- to fifteen-year-olds are told about their right to safe abortions and post abortion care, how to use emergency contraception, and that the size and shape of the penis or breasts does not affect sexual pleasure.

All this information must be conveyed, of course, in the "school setting" as part of a "formal curriculum" for maximum impact and effectiveness. After all (get ready for high-powered scare tactics) ignorance and misinformation can be life threatening... [snip]

You've got to love the way the left spins their craziness - just cloak all the controversial stuff in lofty goals and protective rhetoric. Over half of the new STDs every year occur among young people, but don't promote abstinence.

Instead lament that more than half have never been taught how to use a condom or where the local sexual health office is located, and rejoice that there is greater access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART).

More than four million girls will seek abortions every year, but don't promote abstinence.

Instead, "introduce and strengthen sexuality education." Remove the stigma against sexual activity, and then introduce worldwide programs to remove the stigma against STDs, and establish a bureaucracy to teach masturbation and contraception.

[There's more, it's worse - you should read it to be aware of how our 'world government' is bent on stripping parents of their right to set their children's education - Recommended > ]
