Dear Sir:
The Trinidad and Tobago Council of Evangelical Churches strongly disapproves of the statement by the minister of sports and youth affairs, Shamfa Cudjoe, that sex education should be taught in schools. It is of the opinion that, because of the sensitive nature of the issue, it should be left in the hands of parents.
While the council acknowledges the concern behind Minister Cudjoe’s suggestion, it fears that to allow sex education in schools will open the door to increased sexual immorality through secular teachings on sexual behaviour. It is not a good idea to allow children to learn about sex from “any and everybody,” for the teachings of those to whom this responsibility will be entrusted may not align with the Bible.
Hebrews 13:4 states that, “Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” Therefore, anything contrary to that statement is incorrect.
Furthermore, with the current push to normalize LGBTQIA behaviour in the country, the council is also concerned that part of sex education in schools, if introduced, would include the teaching of LGBTQIA behaviour, and the council’s stand on that has been abundantly clear from the inception. It also disapproves of that.
All things considered, the council is emphatic that absolutely no consideration should be given to Minister Cudjoe’s suggestion that sex education should be taught in schools, and that it is the responsibility of parents to teach their children about sex.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
