Students cry foul over Singapore sexuality workshop
(DPA)
29 January 2006
SINGAPORE - A workshop at a Singapore junior college sparked uproar among students for rejecting contraception, abortion and embryonic stem-cell research, The Sunday Times reported.
Anderson Junior College engaged the church-based Family Life Society to hold the four-hour workshop for all second-year students.
Complaints have been posted on Internet diaries, or blogs, and an online forum started by a disgruntled student attracted at least 120 comments. School officials also received negative feedback.
Those conducting the workshop “did not clearly state the source of their opinions and instead attempted to spread their beliefs to everyone attending by asking everyone, regardless of their individual’s beliefs or religion, to write down things like, ’I must condemn masturbation and in-vitro fertilization,’” Tay Wei Kiat said in his posting.
“It seemed like I was being brainwashed,” said another student going by his online moniker Cygig.
The workbook the students were given appeared to promote the organizationÂ’s beliefs rather than present fact, he wrote.
Regarding contraception, the programme workshop was cited as saying, “The sterilized sexual act is not much different in its meaning from an act of mutual masturbation whereby the couple seeks to use each other to derive sexual pleasure.”
Under Ministry of Education guidelines, schools are expected to provide eight hours of sexuality education to upper secondary students and four hours to tertiary students. Many schools hire external vendors to conduct the sessions.
Woo Soo Min, vice-principal of Anderson Junior College, told the newspaper that the Family Life Society was chosen because it focused on abstinence and approached the topic “using one’s values and beliefs as the basis,” but conceded that the tone might not have been suitable.
The society defended its programme, maintaining that it never imposed any ideas on the students and kept its content entirely secular.
While some content may have been “moralistic,” the presentation was never “religious,” Andrew Kong, senior executive of the group, was quoted as saying. -
students are having sex at an early age

So they are encouraging those kids to have unprotected casual sex is it? -
I read that article on the news as well. It seems that the organisation is trying to FORCE the organisation's beliefs on the students instead of educating them about sexuality and letting them make their own decisions after going through the course
Any students from AJC wanna clarify? -
They will end up like South Africa.Originally posted by DrTech:No contraception and yet No abortion... they ask too much...
No contraception, no Abortion. -
I'm filing them away together with those militant cranks who banned their kids from watching harry potter because of "witchcraft and soccery" ......
....... -
what's the over-reaction for? so what if they are encouraging abstinece....for the horny 16-yr olds, this may be prudish but there's nothing to laugh at when you contract std or become pregnant.....unless you are a parent yourself, you cannot understand the worry parents have. it's been reported that more teenagers are contracting std.. there was even this case of a uni grad throwing her new-born into a chute...goes to day how intelligent our youths may think themselves to be. i'm no christian but as a parent, i would hope my children have the better sense then to blindly follow such liberal attitudes....
-
Encouraging abstinence among youths is ok, but the methods that this group employs to get their message across is somewhat extreme. Also, using the sexuality workshop as a platform to spread their views on non-related issues like abortion, in-vitro fertilisation and stem-cell research is plain despicable.

I have attended this talk organised by my church before, the speaker was Mr Andrew Kong.He showed us gruesome video clips of abortion clinics, fouetuses thrown away etc etc....but he brought in religious issues, because unlike schools, this was a church.
I still find some idealogy in the talk senseless though....he intepreted the church laws in such a way that it suits his argument. -
they are encouraging abstinence wat.. means not even doing it at all
-
abstinence only?
how abt the part where they must condemn masturbation and in vitro fertilisation?
Is this what the society wants or just the beliefs of a particular single or group of religions? -
Rejecting contraception will only bring harm and more abortions.
Personally I do not support abortion, but why the hell is contraceptions immoral? -
Contraception is immoral 'cos you're spilling your [holy] seeds. But this is more of a Catholic teaching today.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Rejecting contraception will only bring harm and more abortions.

So he commit a sin by wasting his seeds ah... -
then this kong guy must be a catholic...i think christians have no problem with contraceptives or ivf...
as for abortions, if given a choice ought to be avoided but the procedure must be kept legal and not prohibitive. it's a serious option for unwanted pregnancy. anyone who thinks it is more important to keep the fetus alive over whatever consequence is sadly mistaken. unwanted pregnancy is unwanted for some reason and to force any woman to keep the unwanted fetus will lead to an unwanted child. that said, irresponsible women and girls should keep their legs closed....
std is an issue not to be taken lightly. most have no cure, relief is available but the virus remains forever and will rear its ugly head every so often. -
