Family values are under attack by the woke

-

THE Department of Basic Education (DBE) has recently developed an ECE (Early Childhood Education) toolkit to allow primary and pre-primary teachers to enforce a gender-ideologica­l framework.

In terms of the toolkit, educators will be allowed to ask children between the ages of 0-9 years old more about their gender preference­s and what they would like to identify as. Since when do young kids have to be bombarded with such complexiti­es at an age where they can barely do anything for themselves?

Why are we arming these teachers with such evil powers, for instance, to ask a child what their preferred pronoun would be, using “they” or “them” to apparently “respect” a child’s gender identity?

And we have to ensure kids have access to toilet facilities that cater to their so-called “gender” identifica­tion. Do we really want to go down this road, folks?

It is absurd, to say the least! I cannot think of a more inhumane, evil disservice than to expose little kids to some woke ideology that could potentiall­y damage a minor’s confidence and mental well-being for a lifetime!

If ever there was an unleashing of pure evil agendas, boy, have we seen worse than what we’ve seen lately? The current chaos being created by this woke, leftist ideology is frightenin­g, to say the least!

The US, Europe, and now even

South Africa are witnessing the crippling effects of this man-made attack on traditiona­l family values. Where is this leading to?

And how will we stop this if we remain silent? We have to be so careful what we expose our children to, people! The woke train is approachin­g us at an alarming speed, and it is about to obliterate every normal, healthy family dynamic that you and I ever took for granted!

South Africa has been teetering on the edge of total societal collapse with its racial tensions, BEE propaganda and land reform issues.

Add to this the complexiti­es of this man-made atheistic ideology, and what you will get is one big cesspool of culture wars and cancel-culture activities.

This is not what South Africa needs right now, considerin­g the already fragile socio-economic landscape that we find ourselves in!

We are not only one of the most violent, corrupt nations in the world, but also the most unequal, with a too high poverty rate and an unacceptab­le unemployme­nt rate.

To my fellow brothers and sisters, stand strong, be brave and speak up against worldwide condemnati­on of solid, healthy family values, instituted by and for God’s Kingdom.

We can no longer stand by and watch our faith being questioned and destroyed and a mockery being made of our age-old beliefs and Godly standards! L OOSTHUIZEN | Durban
