The third scheme of the enemy that affects this new generation is Sex Education in schools. A speaker from Human Life International described it as one of the unholy trinity, besides birth control and abortion. In today's society there is a wrong depiction of sex. You can see it everywhere, in the magazines, ads, movies, comedy shows, and MTV. Sex is depicted as something that merely gives you pleasure to respond to the prompting of the flesh. While morally, sex should be in the bounds of marriage, and is a gift to the spouse with the intent of procreation. Sex before marriage is done to self satisfy the urges of the flesh because of a lack of self-control and a lack of respect for the gift. Sex education in schools would teach kids to put a condom on a banana. This gives due permission to promiscuity in having premarital sex. In sex education in schools, sex is prematurely depicted and overly expressed. The value of modesty is sacrificed. Parents should be the primary formators of their children. The bodily changes that a teen is going through and the urges that they feel can simply be explained by the parents with much love and trust. Parents are to guide their children to reserve themselves for marriage and practice modesty both in their fashion and actions. I heard from a talk on parenting that, "Parents must reclaim their right to teach their children about sex. It is an essential, original, and irreplaceable role."
Sex education will give way to abortion, contraceptives, and the rest of the elements of the culture of death. Sex education is the enemy's scheme to prevent life, and even blame life as the reason of poverty in the country. What we need is chastity education, based on pro-life values promoted by the church. At the end of the day, it is the parents' role to instill in their kids much love, affirmation, and trust, so the children are able to resist the wrong influences of the anti-life forces that surround them.
