Group rejects comprehensive sexuality education in schools

An international organisation, Centre for African Policy, Research and Advisory (CAFPRA), has kicked against comprehensive sexuality education in schools, describing as the greatest assault on the health and innocence of children.
The organisation’s Executive Director, Dr, Segun Adebayo, stated this at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday.
Mr Adebayo, who expressed concern over the introduction of immoral sexual values to school children, said such ‘ungodly values’ were designed to defile and corrupt them.
“Minors are exposed to unimaginable sexual depravities such as heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality, etc.,” he said.
The executive director called on well-meaning Nigerians to collectively protect children by rejecting comprehensive sexuality education.
He explained that the country could face a future of high sexually-debased young adults if an action was not taken now to prevent the development.
Also speaking, the organisation’s Legal Adviser, Sonnie Ekwowusi, raised the alarm over the use of what he called euphemisms as decoys to deceive people to buy into narratives of moral decadence.
Mr Ekwowusi said that narratives such as gender equality and sexual rights, among others, were packaged to advance the hidden agenda of child defilement.
He particularly called on the National Assembly and other parliaments to resist lures of legalising comprehensive sexuality education.
Mr Ekwowusi, who condemned narratives such as sexual reproductive health rights, said the aim was to promote abortion.
He advocated a return to African moral values to build disciplined and obedient children in the future, a feat that Africa is known for.
According to him, the West is spending enough to make sure African moral values are eroded and school values dismantled and replaced with immoral ones. (NAN)
