In today’s society, I don’t
think that anyone would deny the heavy promoted idea that “sex sells”. We see
it in commercials, on billboards, and throughout television and movies. More
recently, there seems to be this great push to get it into our school systems
as well. And, I’m not talking about college. We are talking about middle
school, children that aren’t even teenagers yet! [n]
According to the [article], “Hundreds of Houston-area parents are outraged
over a new sex education program that teaches 12-year-old children about oral,
anal and vaginal sex – and uses graphic curriculum to instruct students on how
to use condoms.”
I realize some persons will
argue that – [“We have to give them that info,” one parent told the television
station. “They need to be aware as much as it may hurt us, but they need to be
aware.”] – but the WE should be the PARENTS, and not the government, school
system, or other outside-the-family sources; especially, with
material that “was so graphic that a Houston television station was unable to
air footage from the curriculum.”
How can we expect our children
(and America) to flee fornication [n] and to desire purity [n], if we are broadcasting sexual material into their
developing imaginations? How shall we plead with them to flee youthful lusts
and follow righteousness [n], when we are tempting them with sin to their very
senses? We have ratings for television and movies – even fines and penalties
for those who allow inappropriate material during times children will be
watching – yet now we want to incorporate such material into our children’s
learning. God help us!
Safeguard
your children from what is wrong, instruct them in what is right, and do not
allow the government, schools, or the worldly minded to corrupt their little minds
with unrighteous imagery or thoughts. Renew their minds in God [n] by the use of scripture and godly wisdom.
