Education ministers in the United Kingdom evaluating sex education programs have produced a new booklet for school children that warns Christian values should not be taught in schools, and sex education classes should teach only "how to," not "whether to."
Now it's coming under criticism from those who say the material borders on propaganda and is completely inappropriate for schools to provide, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
One such comment came from Norman Wells, the chief of Family and Youth Concern. He told the newspaper the booklet is being used to manipulate impressionable youngsters.
"It's verging on brainwashing," he said. "The forum is committed to promoting the view that there are no rights and wrongs when it comes to sexual relationships.
"The authors of this … are clearly aiming to steer children away from a belief in moral absolutes and encouraging them to think everything is relative," he said. "The only truly safe and healthy choice is to follow a clear moral code that keeps sexual intimacy within the context of a faithful and lifelong marriage."
Providing such material to children, he said, is a "serious abdication of adult responsibility."
The material includes a class exercise that is supposed to discover children's views. It includes a series of moral statements about marriage, sex and homosexuality and children are supposed to respond with "agree," "disagree" and "unsure."
But while the students are supposed to respond with their own answers, the material includes the "correct" answers so that teachers can tell children they are wrong if they happen to choose a moral, traditional viewpoint.
"These answers should be read aloud to pupils after they have finished the exercise," according to the report.

You mean there is life in the pro Christian forces in Britain? The war on Christianity there seems almost won if you take at face value what you see here and in the rest of the media. England in the post Christian era is a sad shadow of the great country that helped win two world wars and brought us many of the great men of history.
I keep this link to an old FR thread on my “about page”. This is one of few if not the only place on the net that has the Communist goals of 1963 archived. #17 & 26 are specifically about this.

I wouldn’t want to be a child or a parent in the UK.
They’re destroying the foundation of their society one brick at a time.
This is gonna be a tough sell.
One day finally people will see that behavioral “science” is the enemy of civilization. After all, that’s where all these anti-family, anti-freedom initiative originate.
Destroy the family and you destroy individual freedom and bring on group freedom which means if you do not support the group you are eliminated.
When will they institute "lab" work to follow up the theory? (/S)
This will not change the inherent nature of human sexuality (created by God) and the fact that immoral sexual behavior has consequences.
Sex education is simply a lure used by those who run socialized governments to attract youthful support. There is nothing a teenager can’t learn in a five minute joke fest on a street corner than all twelve years of public indoctrination.
All in all they’re just a-nother brick in tha wall.

When you have a church leader (The AoC) like they have,,,what do you expect?
Talk about sheep, same over here, a leftist, only have to mutter a few words, and the whole society has to genuflect in a subservient, head bowed manner, or otherwise be chastised as being a nonbeliever...
So, that link took me on an interesting rabbit chase.
I’m becoming paranoid. uhuh.com is loaded. So, Forest is a Freeper? Still? Is he for real?
Thank You. I enjoyed your post also...

It should have been a link to this.

Communist Goals (1963)
Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35

Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
Yes, it did. Somehow I chased around and landed on a website called www.uhuh.com. Not enough coffee yet, I guess. Something I read noted www.uhuh.com and I must have linked the 2 in my haid.
