The promotion of so-called comprehensive sexuality education is the biggest threat to parental rights stemming from the United Nations. The term is innocuous by design. Many parents, policymakers, and diplomats alike think that CSE is just lessons about the birds and the bees delivered with a side of “safe sex” admonitions to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

Instead, comprehensive sexuality education’s curricula use human rights language to present sexual activity to children as a right for them to enjoy. They contain graphic instruction on how to perform various sex acts, encourage children to question the values they’ve learned from parents, and imbue the tenets of gender ideology.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, has published an “international technical guidance on sexuality education” in cooperation with other U.N. bodies. Its advisory group includes the International Planned Parenthood Federation, the World Association of Sexology, and the Population Council. Each of these promotes nonexistent “sexual rights.”

[I’m not sure how much influence this will have, but even if it just nudges an Overton window, it’s a poisonous development. And this is an area in which the UN Is particularly outside its lane. The only real value of the United Nations is as a multilateral negotiating platform to maintain peace and stability. Everything else is an encroachment, especially social policies. — Ed]
