BRIEF HISTORY.
Dr. Alfred Charles Kinsey was an American biologist, professor of entomology and zoology, and sexologist. He arrived at Indiana University (IU) in 1920 after his PhD in Biology from Harvard University. Kinsey studied individual variation for 20years (www.kinseyinstitute.org).
An association of women students petitioned IU to offer a course on Marriage for students who were married or contemplating marriage, and this was well welcomed. Dr. Alfred Charles Kinsey was given the course ‘Marriage and Family’ to senior and married IU students, of which he (Kinsey) began teaching in 1938. Kinsey realized that there was a little research done on human sexual behaviors so he started extensive research in that area (www.familywatch.org, http://www.kinseyinstitute.org).
Kinsey had gathered nearly 2000 sex histories and earned a $1.600 grant from the National Research Council’s Committee for Research on the problems of sex. This committee funded the Kinsey team with a $40,000 grant by 1947. The sexologist Alfred Kinsey established the Institute for Sex Research (ISR) at IU now known as the Kinsey Institute For Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction in 1947 (www.kinseyinstitute.org).
In January 1948, W.B. Sunders and company published the first volume of the results of the ISR; Sexual Behavior in the Human Male which quickly reached number two on the New York Times Bestseller’s list, followed by Sexual Behavior in the Human Female in 1953. These books became known in the media as the Kinsey Reports. Both books featured the Heterosexual-Homosexual rating scale known as The Kinsey Scale. Kinsey died at the age of 62 (25th August, 1956) (www.kinseyinstitute.org, http://www.familywatch.com).
CONCEPT OF CSE.
The whole idea of CSE is Sexual freedom. The research findings of Kinsey was that children are Sexual from birth and that promiscuous sexual behaviors of all kinds are prevalent in society among all ages and therefore are normal and healthy, hence the foundation and rationale behind today’s ‘comprehensive sexuality education programs that teach children of all ages that they have right to sexual knowledge and sexual pleasure’ (www.comprehensivesexualityeducation.org).
Most scholars like Dr. Judith Reisman (author of sexual sabotage) and Dr. Miriam Grossman (author of you’re teaching my child what?) critiqued that Kinsey’s work was pseudo-scientific and fraudulent because he (Kinsey) used incarcerated criminals, prostitutes and pedophiles rather than normal, healthy members of the society. Further critique was that he (Kinsey) applied his findings to the general population (www.comprehensivesexualityeducation.org).
Another critique was that Kinsey identified three kinds of sexual abnormalities; Abstinence, celibacy and delayed marriage which ironically promote legitimate sexual health. The Kinsey Institute promotes anal sex with condoms as safe despite scientific evidence to the contrary (www.familywatch.org).
Modernization theory in action!
The Kinsey Institute facilitated the formation of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) which has been tied to Planned Parenthood ( now Internatnal Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) which has partnered with UNESCO to push the agenda of sexuality education for children worldwide, by doing bringing out the International Guidelines on Sexuality Education (www.familywatch.org).
These institutions are using funds and in the name of sexual rights to push LBGTQ (Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, Transgender, Queer) agenda, claiming that sexual rights is a fundamental human rights, and also quality education (SDG 4 )but untrue. The strategy these institutions are using now is that CSE is a good idea from developed countries, hence other countries should infuse them into their culture based on what conforms to their culture but the name Comprehensive Sexuality Education is an LGBTQ agenda from the history discussed above.
No wonder Niyi Ojuolape, a country representative for the U.N. Population Fund in Ghana accessed from (www.ghanaweb.com) said “At the end of the day, Ghana cannot be left behind from the rest of the world “. This confirmed that it is a global agenda but together we can resist this.
Let flashback again on the history: Kinsey Institute were the first ever to publish that 10% of US population are homosexuals but actually, it was approximately 2%, and this gave the foundation for homosexual activist movement in the USA ( http://www.familywatch.org).
In conclusion, sex education is never comprehensive sexuality education. Sex education focuses on human reproductive system, and helps youth understand the changes their bodies experience during puberty, and how to prevent sexually transmitted disease (www.comprehensivesexualityeducation.org) but CSE is a curriculum-based gender-focused that aims to equip children and young people with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that will enable them to develop a positive view of their sexuality in the context of their emotional and social development (UNFPA, 2014). It is not surprising that the president of Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council, Paul Yaw Frimpong-Manso on Joy fm Super morning show said “I call it Comprehensive Santanic Engagement “.
