Compulsory sex education has been mandated by Mayor Bloomberg without any public hearings or release of curriculum and teaching texts to the media.
The mandated course contains a conflicting and perverse message because it instructs children to abstain while training them how to use condoms and have "safe sex," beginning at 11 years old. All of this without parental consent. That, simply stated, is a violation of all New York families and parental rights. The material, being sexually suggestive, is pornographic and, therefore, sexual abuse of children.
One of the evils of child pornography is that it is the introduction of sexually provocative material to under age children. The City of New York is mandating the systematic corruption of our kids. This needs to be stopped. It is, at the very least, indecent!
Yes, instruct the children about the dangers and encourage them to abstain and encourage and assist their families to help their children "say no to fornication." New York should begin a "SAY NO TO FORNICATION" campaign similar to the nationwide anti-smoking campaign which has proven so effective. It should be a categorical and uncompromising battle to eliminate the evil of child sex. The evil here is the sexual immorality and the problem is that those who are most vocal in the campaign to stop the diseases and the unwanted pregnancies do not want to stop the fornication. They believe extramarital sex is OK. Or they are, at least indifferent to the morality of it. They want to smoke and be healthy too. It does not work.
Sexual immorality is always unhealthy. Sexual sins always damage the person(s) involved: spiritually, physically, intellectually, creatively, and emotionally, with or without a condom, with or without "the pill." To willfully expose our children to an evil which is so personally damaging is criminal, even under the false guise of "education" and "risk prevention." For City Hall to undertake such a project, without hearing the New York parents and the larger community is unjust and tyrannical.
