REACH - OBJECTIVITY IN MEDIA REPORTING

How unfortunate REACH is going to shut down this thread. But before we go, Mr Han of ST responded and from what he wrote, ST is unlikely to make any further statements on this and would let the issue die a natural death.

Nonetheless, I have appealed again to Mr Han and Mr Alan Chan (SPH's CEO) asking them to reconsider their decision to stay silent because it will not benefit ST in the long-run and I directed them to this site. I have also copied Dr Amy Khor (REACH Chairman) in my letter, to ensure that she will not overlook our efforts here and will collate our views and feed them back to the Singapore Government.

Here is something else I discovered about CSE.

Do a google search on "Comprehensive Sexuality Education" and you will find that the CSE program is global and it is may be championed by SIECUS.

Do a search on "Comprehensive Sexuality Education" + "anti-family" or "anti-life" and a lot more information surfaces.

Lifesitenews summarises: "Comprehensive sexuality education" is a term used by anti-family groups to denote programs that present a morally neutral, purely physical approach to sex education that instructs teens and even children in the use of artificial birth control and abortion, and presents unnatural sexual practices as normal and acceptable."

Diane Dew provides the background and vision of SIECUS
http://www.dianedew.com/siecus.htm and the founder of SIECUS also came out from Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Ah well, we know where the root of
the problem is!

Given the 'global support' of CSE, we can now understand why AWARE is keen on bidding their time to reintroduce it later! AWARE fails to realize that what is "acceptable" to the USA culture (ie. if they are acceptable because many Americans are objecting to CSE programs as well) does not readily apply to the Singapore or Asian culture!

So [concerned] and [Too Concerned to Remain Silent anymore!], there is a lot more vigilance needed on your part!

All the best everyone! We are in this for the long haul!!
