Dear All,

I am writing to protest against the intended introduction of the UN backed RSE programmes, which I consider to be nothing short of State Sponsored Grooming. The over-sexualisation of our children, as detailed in the UN document is completely inappropriate to our children’s needs and the national education system.

Some weeks ago I was invited to Glenmachan Church in East Belfast to learn about the issue from ‘The Truth Behind RSE Northern Ireland’. About 180 people attended, most hearing about the scheme for the first time. Although as a grandparent I have no immediate responsibility for school age children, older people have a strong sense of what is good and wholesome. The RSE agenda is NOT and grandparents everywhere, appreciating a big-picture view, can help guide their offspring through the maze of seemingly insurmountable challenges using some back-to-basics common sense.

We learned of the approach used across the mainland UK to introduce the RSE ‘instruction’ into schools. It is typically done by external organisations so that headteachers and regular staff can say they’re not involved – ‘It’s nothing to do with me’. The fact remains that space has been provided on school premises and the timetable adjusted to facilitate grooming. Somehow we have allowed the natural duties of parents, who know their children best, to be usurped by perverts with an agenda of corruption. Parents throughout the ages have introduced sex education in an age-appropriate way to their children as they encounter changes with the onset of puberty. We must protect this most basic right and allow children to be children.

On the landing page of TBRNI.org we are told of the vote by MLAs to allow RSE indoctrination into our school curricula. The move was celebrated by the LGBGT community of Northern Ireland with Chris Heaton-Harris, our current Secretary of State, at a Stormont reception. While I have always looked upon the gay community with respect, as another manifestation of God’s love, I am gravely concerned that their movement has been hijacked by WOKE ideology and is now being aggressively pursued to impose that thinking across society.

After laying siege to a city, dividing the enemy against itself has always been a premier weapon of war. Today we see the same tactics in use across the world. In Ireland we polarised into North and South, Republican and Unionist, and our political representation fuelled the rift. Elsewhere it might have been Black or White, Christian or Moslem, Sunni or Shia etc but now we have arrived at the fundamental clash of Good Vs Evil. Boys and Girls are being encouraged to choose pronouns that describe how they feel about themselves – often before puberty brings challenges of its own. We are permitting genital mutilation, puberty blocking drugs and irreversible surgeries before children have reached adulthood. Of course they can then choose how they wish to present themselves to the world, but in the meantime parents alone are the guardians of their children, not the education system, the UN or any LGBGTxyz group with an unholy agenda.

It used to be that receiving an education meant learning critical thinking, scientific analysis and an appreciation of the arts encouraging aspiration to the highest forms of culture. It is sad to feel that today’s youth is to be spoon-fed a groupthink compendium of attitudes and that their progression depends more on their ability to regurgitate curated narratives than to objectively debate the evidence.

Although this letter is intended to address the RSE drive, my grandad view of current affairs links it to every other initiative currently threatening society – covid, climate change with its crazy dependence on renewables, war in the Ukraine, an engineered famine, Digital Identities, CBDCs, a growing dependence on big pharma/WHO and mRNA biologics rather than encouraging entrepreneurship and free-market competition. It must now be clear to all that ‘Building Back Better’ first requires that we destroy all that we have. As Remembrance Day approaches it is right to ask how the young men who gave all their tomorrows for our today would feel at the betrayal of their dreams by governments around the world.

The RSE agenda is perhaps the last straw for parents who have thus far avoided Home Schooling. Please intervene with Common Sense to protect our children.

 

In Peace and Honour
