The learning outcomes for 5-8-years-old are seemingly harmless.

5-8-year-old children are taught to identify important personal values.

They are unlikely to have much awareness or conviction about their own values. Instead, they will internalise values from their teachers.

These values seem to be about how to becoming permissive toward different sexual behaviours and gender self-identification given the context and goals of this guidance.

From 9-12 years old, children are taught to describe how certain values affect gender role expectations and equality. 

Values from parents, guardians, families and communities are being unfavourably pit against the pro-LGBTQ values advocated in this CSE guide.

This makes gender equality a first-order value to hold. Other values are subjugated beneath “gender equality”.

They can certainly still hold their old values, but they are undermined.

Next, from 12-15 years old, teenagers are taught to compare their personal values in relation to a range of sexuality issues and reproductive health issues.

Teenagers are taught to judge their personal values according to whether they affect the “rights” of others. There is no clear definition of what “rights” mean here.

Personal values seems to be subjugated beneath the value of individual autonomy, even when decisions are not always beneficial or good. This also implies that individual autonomy should replace existing values as the basis of public policy.

Teenagers holding the traditional view of marriage would then think that their values are meant for their personal lives and that the law should permit other forms of unions. After internalising this, teenagers would then support redefining marriage in law.

From 15-18 years old, the undermining of parent-child relationships become more pronounced.

Teenagers are taught how to differentiate their values from their parents’ values. They are also taught to have an attitude that it is permissible for them to not follow their parents’ values.

This topic has never taught teenagers to agree with their parents. Instead, it undermines parents’ values by implicitly teaching a hierarchy of values that subjugates inculcated values beneath “gender equality” and individual autonomy. 

By weakening family values, teenagers have less resistance to accepting the pro-LGBTQ values espoused by CSE, hidden behind values of “Equality”, “acceptance” and “tolerance”.
