Quito, Ecuador, Nov 8, 2006 / 12:00 am (CNA).- With financial backing from the Dutch government, the government of Ecuador has begun distributing textbooks in schools throughout the country that separate sexuality from moral values, ridicule abstinence, and encourage sexual activity among teens.

The Ministry of Education, which has published the textbooks with the support of the Pan-American Organization of Health, the Dutch Service of Cooperation for Development, and the Dutch Embassy, said the use of the textbooks is obligatory.

In the editions developed for 13 and 14 year-olds, the textbooks present masturbation as “a normal and expected expression of human development.”  Masturbation, the book says, “helps you to release tension and to get to know own body.  During puberty it can help you as a way of learning about sexual pleasure.”

The books treat abstinence with disdain, calling it “the voluntary privation of the total or partial satisfaction of something, in this case, of sex.”  The books make no mention of marriage, chastity, values, respect or fidelity.”

Priscila de Barahona, director of the Pro-Life Action organization, told CNA the books are available to kids as young as 10 years old.  “They incite them to use contraceptives, they recommend masturbation, they present sexually transmitted diseases as problems that can only be solved medically without any consideration for prevention, and they treat the condom as the only means for protection against AIDS, without mentioning its familiar defects.”

The Dutch will be the first ones in that basket...now they want to legalize hard core drugs and pornography, pedophilia, and beastiality. They just legalized infant euthanasia. You see what liberalism does to the European world? and what it will do everywhere else soon?

Thank goodness we have the Dutch to impose their values on the underdeveloped and backward nations to the south!
Thank goodness for liberal, intellectual and cultural elitism! What would we do without it?
Keep hope! There is ALWAYS hope!

They will know we are Christians by our LOVE! Holy Scriptures says in 1 Thessalonians 5.4-11 "But you, brothers, are not in darkness, for that day to overtake you like a thief. For all of you are children of the light and children of the day.... stay alert and sober....... putting on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet that is hope for salvation. .... Therefore encorage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do."
Repent! While there is still light?
Peace be to my brothers in Christ Jesus, who has won the Victory! Dear Church Militant Keep up the good fight. Don't get discouraged.
We have Christ Jesus on our side.

May the Peace of Christ be with you.
Your sister in Christ Jesus, Loretta

May the Lord help us. We are so blind that we don't see how this sex exploitation will most likely result in the damnation of our souls and of our children. We can turn our faces the other way and do nothing about it, but we will pay the price.

The way things are going, it may not be until humanity is forced to its knees before it says, "Have mercy on us Lord." May the Lord wake us up fast before the souls of many innocent children are lost.

I guess then the Dutch government considers a text book manuel promoting the "Culture of Death" so obligatory that they feel that they must export this "Culture of Death" to school children all over the world with all the tragedies and negative rammifications and implications of promoting this agenda swept completely under the rug. I never knew the Dutch government was so benevolent! This from a country where many of the elderly are too afraid to go into hospitals for fear that they may never come out alive again because of the legalization of euthanasia in that country. Perhaps their South American counter parts can finance a book promoting the "Culture of life" and then make it available for the Dutch government to use as a positive educational tool for the children and students of their country. If the Dutch government is so concerned by the education of their children and children in other countries it should be incumbent on them to offer the other point of view if they are seriously interested on these very important life and family issues. Our schools should be about education not indoctrination! Pray, Pray, Pray!

Sounds like the author of the book is the devil.
