Three former ministers invite, in an article published Sunday in La Tribune, “not to give in to pressure” and to implement the emotional and sexual life education program questioned by elected officials and conservative organizations.
“The program we have built has nothing ideological: it is pragmatic and concrete”, say Nicole Belloubet (Renaissance), former Minister of national Education, Aurore Bergé (Ensemble), former Minister delegated for equality between women and men, and Frédéric Valletoux (Orizzonti), former Minister of Health.
“Opponents of this program use words like gender theory sow doubt and confusion. This expression is not included in the program! », they write.
“We must not give in to these pressures. Yes, education about emotional life, relationships and sexuality gives rise to debates, but these must not slow down its implementation”, they continue.
“Today it is pornographic content that has established itself as the main vector of sexual education for our adolescents. They convey erroneous, violent and stereotyped representations of relationships”, add the former ministers who signed this text together with Véronique Riotton, president of the delegation for women’s rights, and Guillaume Gouffier Valente, deputies of the Ensemble.
“Fake News”
The Minister Delegate (LR) for Academic Success, Alexandre Portier, judged the current text “not acceptable” in its current form in front of the Senate on Wednesday, promising to “personally commit to ensure that gender theory”, which would deny sexual differences, “you don’t find a place in our schools”.
“A minister should never contribute to spreading false facts. Especially not on such a delicate topic,” reply the three former ministers.
While assuring that they “share the ambitions of the program”, Catholic Education and the Association of Free School Parents (APEL) expressed on friday “serious reservations” about its contents and called for it to be “profoundly reworked”.
The content of the program had previously been criticized by conservative organizations such as the Family Union, the ex-Manif pour tous or SOS Education.
National Education minister Anne Genetet supported this program on friday, ensuring that “the machine is launched”. The text must be presented on 12 December to the Council of Higher Education (CSE),a consultative body,with a view to its implementation at the beginning of the 2025 school year.
As 2001,the law has made sexual education compulsory in middle and high schools,with at least three sessions a year,but it is indeed,actually,little respected.
