Once upon a time we held these truths to be self-evident, that all men were created equal, that they were endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among them were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

This month, the United Nations Economic, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) will unveil a new human right; sexuality education, condoms, and abortion-on-demand—for all children.

Under the banner of human "rights" (and sticking to the liberal playbook) the crisis of HIV and AIDS, these two organizations are introducing the world to an “International Guidelines on Sexuality Education.”

The guide is intended to be a template for countries to get around those annoying parents, and cultural barricades that try to protect children from sexual activity.

Designed to tear down morality and traditional roles of parents, the guidelines assert the belief, as fact, that it is teachers and ministers of health that are best qualified to teach young children about sexuality. Parents are merely obstacles to overcome, as they seek to indoctrinate children beginning at the age of 5.

What is "age appropriate" sexual education at age 5, you ask? Well, that depends entirely on who you ask.

Most parents understand that 5-year-olds are not yet truly sexual. Innocent curiosity in bodily functions--yes; but true sexual behavior in very young children is either a reaction to something they have seen inappropriately, or are signs of sexual abuse.

Important age-appropriate information is cleanliness, the washing of hands after using the bathroom, understanding that washing with soap will keep it from itching, and never drink your bath water--all issues facing the average 5-year-old.

Their motives for sexualizing children, in an age of rampant sexual exploitation of children, have to be questioned past the rhetoric of AIDS prevention. What will come next once a child is deemed to have a basic human right to sex and the medical care it takes to clean up the messiness it causes?

We’ve heard this song before. It is suspiciously close to the Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Kindergarten-12th Grade published by SIECUS (the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States). For over a decade, it has been used extensively by educators and curriculum developers to implement sexuality education here in the United States.

Both guidelines divide children into four age/grade levels. Level one is for ages 5 to 8. According to the guidelines, this age group should be taught that "both boys and girls have body parts that feel good when touched... touching and rubbing one's own genitals to feel good is called..."

Caution is given though, explaining while some boys and girls engage in this activity and some do not, the children are told this should all be done in private.

The guidelines include a complete anatomy lesson on "vaginal intercourse." The term vaginal intercourse is used, as it is lumped in with several accepted forms of intercourse.

The concepts of sex, sexuality, and sexual identity are treated separately with the introduction of homosexuality and bi-sexuality.

Introduction at such a tender age is nothing less than induction. Stripping children of their innocence, raping their childhood imagination, and breaking down all natural defenses is not education it is an assault.

"Comprehensive, age appropriate sexuality education" is so focused on telling children it is ok to touch themselves and each other, and describing all sorts of sexual acts as right and good, they break down all barriers and defenses against sexual abuse.

A child being sexually abused will come to school and be told about how all the touching and intercourse is good and natural--and should be done in private. Underscoring the lies her abuser is telling her.

This topic hardly seems fit for public discussion; most of us were taught it is improper to speak publicly about private sexual matters; there is a natural aversion that is being played against us.

Parents can no longer afford polite silence while activists equip and write laws that allow teachers to have far more graphic and disturbing discussions with our 5, 6 and 7- year-olds behind closed doors--as a captive audience within the confines of a classroom.
