A very big Thank You to all Parents and Responsible Citizens!

A very big Thank You to all Parents and Responsible Citizens!

We have won the battle (well, almost) before it even began!

MOE has decided to investigate the matter concerning AWARE's Comprehensive Sexual Programme.

Although the official outcome of the investigation has not been announced, I am quite sure that the parts that portray homosexuality in positive light will be removed. Just my hunch. Read the full text of MOE's reply and you will know what I mean.

Thank you all parents and responsible citizens. Without your help, our fight against the gays' covert homosexuality programme to indoctrinate unsavoury ideas into the minds of 12 year old girls would not have reaped results.

Finally, I would like to thank Josie Lau and company, who have bravely risked their careers, family and even lives in their attempt to uncover the truth that has been kept away from parents.

I am no Christian - but I don't see anything wrong in saying, "May God bless and guide you, Josie and Company! We owe our children's future to you and we love you!"

Reply to Media Queries on MOE’s Sexuality Education Programme

1 The Ministry of Education (MOE) has received a number of queries and feedback. Parents were generally asking for clarification on what students are taught during sexuality education programmes in school.

2 MOE’s sexuality education programme, conducted from upper primary to pre-university level, reflects the mainstream views and values of Singapore society, where the majority of Singaporeans hold conservative views on sexuality. Thus, MOE’s programme on sexuality education is situated within the context of Singapore society which upholds the family as a key social institution.

3 In MOE’s sexuality education programme, homosexuality is covered in one lesson in the lower secondary package. The lesson seeks to inform students of the definition of “homosexual”, and that homosexual acts are illegal under Singapore law. It does not promote homosexuality, but follows social norms of mainstream society.

4 In delivering the programme, teachers are guided by the principle that parents are ultimately responsible for the values education of their children and that issues of sexuality often involve a question of values. Thus, students are encouraged to seek guidance from their parents on contentious issues such as homosexuality, so that they clarify their personal values and beliefs and take informed, responsible and values-based decisions regarding sexuality, while being aware of different views and perspectives in society.

5 Some parents who wrote in to the Ministry have also expressed concern over the content found in an “AWARE Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Basic Instructor Guide” that has been posted online. MOE is investigating this matter.

6 Background information on sexuality education programmes in school (see FAQs) is available on the Ministry’s website for parents’ reference.

Once again, thank you for your support!

PS - Perhaps to show our appreciation for Josie and company, we could all take the trouble to meet them at Saturday's Aware EGM to thank them personally. What is one afternoon to us, compared to the weeks they have put in for dear our children?

Don't forget you need to register as AWARE members in order to be able to attend the EGM.
