sexuality education? its contents? MOE's vetting process not rigorous enough? homosexuality and lesbianism? pre-marital sex, etc. inclusiveness?

i think the opposing force is just as strong.
The main issues are with overzealous religious parents who still maintain their 60s,70s mentality and has no idea what kind of world their children are living in today.
How can one possibly promote homesexuality? I can have the president telling me it's alright to be homo, but that's not gonna make me wanna screw a guy?!!
The whole issue about MOE retracting it's previous stand on the AWARE sexuality program is because of the exposed Instructor Manual which I agree has some rather liberal views.
But the manual is meant to be confidential and not to be shared or distributed, meaning people who protested against the program in the first place don't even know the content until
after the takeover. And the more ridiculous, it's people from within the New AWARE that posted the content on their website for the whole world to see. Now that's a really low move
by the so-call morality advocators.
Since MOE has taken actions after sudden protest and concerns from parents (maybe all from the same church), then why didn't they take this step in the first place instead of starting
a silly takeover war in such a public fashion?
Whatever the outcome, the real loser in this whole affair is the faith....if you know what I mean.

pardon my ignorance - what kind of world is my children living in? Girls walking to toilet with cucumber and boys engaging in 69 in the stairways?
Something new to me, you are saying that AWARE is secretly promoting homosexual internally.
The main issue is:
3. ah ums splurge 90k before hitting the road. They say all the drama increased the membership for a 120k windfall, still up 30k. Personally only ah um and ah pek can rationalise like this. If there weren't any new registrants to out vote them, they'll justify their actions some other way.
I shall not elaborate on the comment of the world our children is living in :bsmilie:
AWARE is definitely NOT promoting homosexuality, I'm just saying that some content in the Instructor Manual might be too liberal for some parents to take (asians especially), and it's not
just on the topic of homosexuality. For example, 'virginity is a state of mind'. And please take note that I'm not trying to start an argument here on AWARE's program, I'm simply responding
to the topic started by TS. The manual is meant for Instructors, giving advise on responses and stuff. Just because there's a separate manual for Instructors doesn't meant the organistion is
trying to conduct themselves differently internally.
The program is not written by AWARE by the way.

No worries am not picking an argument here.
BTW 'virginity is a state of mind' is a very powerful subtle statement to enourage young girls into sex. All the wovles use it to pursuade young naive girls into having sex with them. TRY IT.:bsmilie:

they've gone too liberal in certain views for their own good.

I'm not so sure about their intention. But I doubt they are being liberal. To me I interpret it this way - The subtle message in their manual is a manisfestation of someone who has being supressed - supressed from living a homosexual or lesbian lifestyle. Hence, this subtle teaching is to promote their perverted lifestyle - a way to overcome their guilt or a form of rebellious against who ever that have stop them in their perverted sexual desire. Or it could be written by an old woman who is forbidden to engage in sex during her teenage.
AWARE is promoting homosexuality and/or GLBT (gays, lesbianism, bisexuals, transexuals) to a certain degree as there is one male instructor who is gay. Also, some funds currently come from the chen su lan trust fund which is controlled by a pastor in a gay church. The funds have been used to fund certain programmes that are more liberal. The old guards legal advisor has in the past been encouraging the government to repek 377A. Also the number of members who are GLBT seems to increase over the years while the total membership seems to have fallen over the years until the year 2008.
