Not appropriate
IT is against the law of the land to expose children to inappropriate sexual information.
This reminder is coming from Pure Sex advocate, Ambrose Carter, who visits schools and communities teaching children about abstinence.
Carter charged that there is information being disseminated in the school system, giving children inappropriate information about sex.
“We have been telling individuals that our children are engaging in group oral sex with multiple sex partners and they are having sex with animals. Then individuals think that the children are just deviant, they are being exposed to mass media and smartphones.
“No, they are being exposed to these things right in schools by individuals that ought to know better without the consent of parents and that is wrong,” he said.
Speaking to the media recently, at the Bethel Pentecostal Church, St. George, where he spoke to the media about the dangers of Comprehensive Sexuality Education in schools, Carter noted that when his team from the Pure Sex Centre visits schools, there are students, at times at the primary level, who indicate that they were willing to have sex before marriage, with some young boys even pointing out that they would rape if they do not get what they want.
“They are teaching our children to have oral sex, they are telling them it is alright. Even in the HIV/AIDS prevention information, they are saying that low-risk activities include anal sex using a condom, oral sex, and these things,” Carter said.
He insisted his argument was not based on a religious fight, but rather against the fact that exposing children in Barbados to such immoral information is against the law.
“Somebody should be charged for that,” he stated.
“They have taken this into our schools to our primary school children to our minors, to 11-year-olds. One parent said to us only yesterday that her child came home from one of our top schools and asked what oral sex is. And she asked him what he knows about oral sex... The teacher said to him it is okay to have oral sex,” he added.
“If the policymakers believe that this is such a good thing, bring it to the parents because as far as I know, the parents are still responsible for their children.”
Meanwhile, Carter’s wife Maria pointed out that some parents complained that their children have been receiving literature at school, which they believe contain questionable and inappropriate information about sex.
“So, it is not a religious fight. It has nothing to do with religion. It is about morality. As far as I know, this country was founded on moral principles and we want to continue with that,” she said. (AH)
