Bikers Against Bullies SA supports campaign against sex education in schools
Leave Our Kids Alone, an organisation that seeks to remove sex education within schools, supported by Bikers Against Bullies SA held a campaign at Tambotie Mall during the weekend.
Leave Our Kids Alone, an organisation that seeks to remove sex education within schools, campaigned at Tambotie Mall on Saturday, 29 February to alert the public about the dangers of exposing children to sexual content at a young age.
Natalie van der Westhuizen, spokesperson for the organisation, said sex education is doing more harm than good and parents should boycott the programme immediately.
“We believe that sex belongs in the bedroom and not in a school,” Van der Westhuizen said.
She added the content is traumatising and is nothing more than an encouragement for children to experiment with sexual acts – leading to more problems.
“It is not age-appropriate, because we all have different cultures and different belief systems. We believe we can teach our children according to own beliefs,” Van der Westhuizen said, adding that since sex education was introduced, the incidence of underage pregnancy has been increasing.
“The content of the books would leave even an adult frightened. It is definitely not teaching then how to abstain from sex, it is teaching them to go ahead an pleasure themselves; it is sick! We are here to remove this from schools because Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE) is indoctrination.”
Bees Fourie, national leader of Bikers Against Bullies SA, said they supported the campaign, “… because we feel the sex education process belongs with the parents and not in schools”.
Fourie went on to say the way the school system handles the delicate and sacred subject is not right. “We also do not think it is ethical to expose primary schools learners to the programme,” Fourie added.
According to Van der Westhuizen, #Leave Our Kids Alone seeks to achieve the following: “To enforce the freedom of parents to be the primary caregivers of their children; to rid schools of sex education; to protect the right to teach children the way parents see fit in accordance with family beliefs; and to allow parents to have a say in what their children are taught in general.”
