A shocking new report issued by the once revered UN Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is drawing fire for promoting sex ed guidelines that encourage children to experiment sexually from birth to age five.
According to a report prepared by Terrence McKeegan, J.D., for the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM.org), this is not the first time UNESCO has tried to force its interpretation of “age-appropriate” sex education onto the world. Ever since the agency joined with the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the US (SIECUS), the education arm of the controversial Kinsey Institute, they have repeatedly called for the promotion of complete sexual liberty for children.
As McKeegan reports, last September, the agency was greeted with a torrent of criticism when it tried to promulgate guidelines calling for the promotion of legal abortion and masturbation for children of all ages. The intensity of the objections was so great the agency was forced to pull the guidelines, only to quietly reissue new ones in December.
Most of the explicit language was removed from the new guidelines, but an appendix was retained that includes a sex education curriculum for children from birth to age five.
“This curriculum instructs parents to provide anatomically correct dolls for young children to play with, inform them of diverse sexual relationships, and to be supportive of masturbation,” McKeegan writes.
Regarding gender identity and sexual orientation, the curriculum warns that parents who insist on reinforcing traditional gender identities will hinder their children’s growth. “Confusion about these issues and fear of homosexuality (homophobia) has caused many parents and other adults to limit how girls and boys express themselves,” it says.
Other guidelines instruct teachers to avoid moralization because there are no “rights or wrongs” when discussing values.
Another curriculum examines early sexual development, noting from birth to age two that children may “experience genital pleasure”, and by age three may engage in “sex play”.
These comments are all drawn from the now discredited work of Alfred Kinsey, which is carried on by SEICUS. Recent disclosures from children who were raped during Kinsey’s so-called “research” experiments have several lawmakers already considering a new round of investigations into the Institute for possible complicity with pedophiles who “worked” with Kinsey during his tenure at the University.
The Kinsey Institute created SIECUS in 1964 as its educational arm. The first director of SIECUS was Dr. Mary Calderone, the former medical director of Planned Parenthood.
UNESCO has openly admitted that a former director of SIECUS is one of the principle authors of its new sexuality guidelines.
According to McKeegan, UN members “roundly denounced” the new guidelines last week.
