Abuse of our children?
CEN Editorial
So we hear that our government has decided on compulsory sex education for children as young as five years old. The almost complete lack of public comment underlines how passive and biddable we as a nation have become, and now the state is now claiming authority to micromanage all areas of life, sweeping aside intermediary institutions and customary forms of life. Big Brother knows best, and is watching you.
Big Brother in fact is now assuming the role of moral teacher who knows best, notably about the raising of children and structuring family life. Marriage, after the New Labour cultural revolution, is now a curious antique from the past with no acknowledged structural place in society, totally unsupported by government in its obsession with diversity and the experimental—a long-lasting marriage is now almost a mark of Christian discipleship in an increasingly pagan society and state.
Along with this shift to a utilitarianism of sex comes the amazing abortion industry, lauded by our MPs as a beacon of freedom for women, as if they were more like irrational animals who are unable to conduct their relationships on a responsible level and are not expected to do so, multiple abortions being now quite regular. Steepling levels of sexual transmitted disease and teenage pregnancy do not, in fact, really worry our government planners since their only response is in the educational realm where they promote sexual experiment by sex education of the most functionalist kind, and operate a covert system of providing contraception to under age children, behind parents’ backs.
We can only deduce that governmental rhetoric of concern for this social shift is just that, rhetoric for the benefit of middle England. This radical coarsening of culture is supported by the state broadcaster, the BBC, as the shocking Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross incident shows only too well. After some huffing and puffing in the Beeb, all will be forgotten and the same semi-pornographic BBC niche programming will continue — at our expense. ‘They’ know best.
And the process continues now with the very young, sexual education for infants in the hands of our state educational establishment, and including such matters as ‘relationships’, ‘same-sex partnerships’, diversity and inclusion. So from the savage attack by our cultural left on ‘section 28’ we now have the reverse, no doubt special educational packs being developed even now by Stonewall to help the five-year-old to prepare for a possible gay identity and how to take that forward. Parents will have no right to withdraw their children.
The Archbishop of Canterbury wrote a prophetic book, Lost Icons, lamenting the sexualisation of children through the fashion industry, raising sexual consciousness artificially early, sacrificing their childhood: we trust that he will soon be applying this logic to state sponsored sexualisation of children, a menacing form of child abuse. We profoundly hope that the very liberalised Anglican educational establishment is not in fact backing Big Brother behind the scenes? Jesus did refer specifically to those causing the little ones to stumble.
