While considering the Education of Adolescents in HIV/AIDS Prevention
Programme yesterday as part of a debate on the family and the
education of youth, the bishops said the Programme was unacceptable
because it taught contraceptive techniques under the guise of
protecting adolescents.
The SDP Youth Forum said in a statement it condemned "baseless"
attacks regardless of who they came from and cautioned that more than
22 percent of sexually active youths practiced unsafe sex.
The LS Youth said the Church's "new meddling" into affairs of the
state was entirely unacceptable, and urged the bishops to focus on
issues from their field and keep away from state policy and
education.
