Buenos Aires, Argentina, Oct 6, 2006 / 12:00 am (CNA).- In response to the possible passage of a law that requires sex-ed to be taught in all schools in Argentina, the Corporation of Catholic Lawyers is warning that the secularized version of the program “will not solve any of the problems that young people and children are facing today” and that it “will only serve to aggravate” the situation.

The group explained that today’s world is characterized “by a growing increase in moral and judicial amnesia, especially among the younger generations,” and the new law proposed by Congress “is in direct conflict with the fundamental principle of subsidiarity in the field of education.”

“The law contains absurd provisions such as the obligation to impart sex-ed to three and four year-olds, with no regard to parents who are opposed,” the legal association said.

Pro-life groups also objected that the new norm does not protect “the right of parents to intervene in matters related to the education of their children.”  They also warned that linking sexual education with sexual health leads to a distorted vision of the human person, of sexuality and the family, as the euphemism of “reproductive health” is being used to promote contraception, sterilization and abortion.

In the case of Argentina the three "R"'s in education now stands for Restricted, Restricted, and Restricted! To impose this so called sex education to three and four year olds is beyond contempt and callous totally without any common sense or reason. To further aggravate and compound this new norm that does not even protect the rights of parents to intervene and make decisions that are in the best interests of their children which is their God-given rights to do so shows how far the "culture of death" has progressed in Argentina and other parts of the South American Continent. Saturday October 7, 2006 is the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary which is the perfect time and timing for the parents and people of Argentina and throughout the South American Continent and the world to start praying the Rosary and family Rosary to entrust their children, families and countries to Mother Mary who is the Queen of families and Queen of Peace. Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Pray for us!
