Shabaab condemns UN textbooks

[Sherban Shabeel]

Somali schools should stop using "un-Islamic" textbooks distributed by the United Nations, a spokesman for the Islamist group al-Shabab has said.

 

Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage urged Somalis not to send their children to schools which use such books.

 

A BBC reporter in the capital Mogadishu says that despite the violence in the country, many schools still operate - and most use UN textbooks.

 

Extreme Islamist groups control most of southern Somalia.

 

The writ of the UN-backed government only runs in small parts of Mogadishu.

 

"Some UN agencies like Unesco are supplying Somali schools with textbooks to try to teach our children un-Islamic subjects," Mr Rage said at a graduation ceremony for Koranic students, reports the Reuters news agency.

 

"I call upon all Somali parents not to send their youngsters to schools with curriculum supported by the UN agencies."

 

The BBC's Mohammed Olad Hassan in Mogadishu says it is not clear whether other al-Shabab leaders share his view.

 

Our reporter says some schools use textbooks from Saudi Arabia.

 

Al-Shabab is accused of having links to al-Qaeda.

 

On Thursday, it carried out a double suicide bombing, killing 17 African Union peacekeepers in Mogadishu.

 

Somalia has not had an effective national government since 1991.

 

Years of fighting and anarchy have left some three million people - half the population - needing food aid.

UNESCO is run by people who clearly have different values and societal norms. Here's an article that discusses UNESCO and UNFPA's (branches of the UN) stance on 'sex education'. It came from a report released by UNESCO called "International Guidelines on Sexual Education". The title itself shows it's agenda is to shape our social values, starting with our children. But here are some quotes pulled from the document, which is almost 100 pages long and quite detailed on what they plan to teach our children.

 

 

The guidelines are designed, according to the report, to be “age-appropriate” and break down the suggested curriculum into four age groups: 5- to 8-year-olds, 9- to 12-year-olds, 12- to 15-year-olds and 15- to 18-year-olds.

 

For those aged 5 to 8, some key concepts to be discussed are:

 

-- “Touching and rubbing one’s genitals is called masturbation” and that “girls and boys have private body parts that can feel pleasurable when touched by oneself.”

-- That “all people regardless of their health status, religion, origin, race or sexual status (gay, lesbian, transvestite etc) can raise a child and give it the love it deserves.”

-- “Gender inequality,” “examples of gender stereotypes,” and “gender-based violence.”

-- Description of fertilization, conception, pregnancy, and delivery.

 

For those aged 9 to 12, key concepts include:

 

-- “specific steps involved in obtaining and using condoms and contraception, including emergency contraception” and the “signs and symptoms of pregnancy.”

-- That “legal abortion performed under sterile conditions by medically trained personnel is safe.”

-- Discussing the ideas of “homophobia, transphobia and abuse of power.”

-- Discussing that “every person has the right to decide whether to become a parent, including disable people and people living with HIV” as well as “ART (anti-retroviral therapy) and side-effects on puberty.”

-- That “both men and women can give and receive sexual pleasure” and the “definition and function of orgasm.”

-- Discussing “examples of harmful traditional practices,” listed examples of which include female genital cutting, honour killings, bride killings, and polygamy.”

 

For those aged 12 to 15, the report recommends discussing “access to safe abortion and post-abortion care” and the “use and misuse of emergency contraception.”

 

UNESCO also suggests those as young as 12 should be told, “the size and shape of the penis, vulva or breasts vary and do not affect reproduction or the ability to be a good sexual partner.”

 

By age 15, adolescents should be exposed “advocacy to promote the right to and access to safe abortion,” according to the guidelines.

what do they have to replace the UN textbooks ???

[Resistance]

^ U can start with the Quraan and then followed by the tons of books on Hadiths etc.

Education texts should be formulated and produced by those who truly care for the progress of us Somalis, i doupt the UN fits that bill and some may argue nor does Saudi Arabia.

[Sherban Shabeel]

^besides debating the impact of sex education in Somalia, since you seem to have your mind made up, do you have any evidence sex ed was going to be taught in Somalia?

 

Have you even seen the textbooks that were banned? What a load of rubbish.

 

By the way, newsflash: NO ONE CARES for the "progress of us Somalis", is it gonna take another 20 years for you to realize?
