SOUTH AFRICA: CONCERNS RAISED REGARDING COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION, ALLEGED NEWS


IN SOUTH AFRICA, CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE RAISED REGARDING COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION. Many parents have asked what they can do about the inclusion of sexually explicit and/or inappropriate content in the proposed new Life Orientation curriculum to be taught in South African schools, Alleged News. [1] They are concerned that the new curriculum will undermine their parental rights to raise their children according to their religious [or moral] convictions and beliefs; Alleged News. [1]

Department of Basic Education
FOR SA has met with the Department of Basic Education on a number of occasions in order to raise concerns on how CSE [Comprehensive sexuality education] will be implemented in South Africa, Alleged News. [1] Teaching on sexuality is laden with underlying values. FOR SA talks with the Department of Basic Education have therefore mainly revolved around the importance of respecting parents' rights since they have the primary right and responsibility to raise their own children according to their own system of values and beliefs, Alleged News. Parents should therefore not be forced to expose their children to teaching about sexuality which may be in conflict with their own values, beliefs, and opinions. 

STOP CSE AT SOUTH AFRICAN SCHOOLS
56 488 have signed the petition to stop CSE at South African schools at the time of posting this blog. Why not join those who wish to allow children their childhood and sign?



EDUCATION OPTIONS FOR CHILDREN
Parents do have a choice in the matter of their children's education. Home schooling or home education is legal in South Africa and a fast growing market at about 20% per year; Alleged News.  Home schooling in South Africa is the same concept as internationally; Alleged News. Home schooling is a new trend in education as more South African parents choose to teach their children at home. The Pestalozzi Trust is the national legal defence fund for home education and provide specific information regarding the law in South Africa with regard to home education: Alleged News. They undertake continuous research and offer regular information days, Alleged News.
