VALUES (MIS-)EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS

What will happen if freedom is emphasized without taking responsibility into account? Should teenagers be totally free from parental guidance? Will children care for uncaring parents when they grow old? What is values-free sex education? How can sex education in schools assault the children's innocence and harm their consciousness? How can educators respond to these challenges?

            Parents are the first educators of their children.  The home is the first school where children learn the meaning of love, sharing and compassion, sacrifice, friendship, generosity, human dignity and respect for human life.  The Sex Education curriculum is primarily patterned after humanistic, utilitarian, and materialistic values. 

The students are trained to decide on moral issues without consideration of faith and God, thus being “value-free”. This has led to the prevailing sexual mentality and enslavement, and the rise of anti-family values. Sex Education attacks the family because it seeks to divide the family members and leads them to intrigue against each other.  Proper sex education cannot be separated from catechism, God’s plan for each one of us, and the teaching of chastity and values. Parents have to be first educators of their children and schools can only reinforce what has been taught in the home.
