Scroobal, that may be what you take caution to mean. But I suspect MOE is going to respond by taking the conservative tack. What you're suggesting is quite interesting. Perhaps sexuality discussions should be conducted in moral/civics lessons in the way that you've outlined, ie. throwing up...

I can't fathom why conservative Christians get their knickers in a twist over magic and fantasy. Apparently, schools and publishers carefully vet their children's books against witches and warlocks so as not to raise the ire of these naysayers. Open to freedoms of speech and assembly? Then...

Let's move from one fake feminist mentor renowned for her censorship abilities to a real feminist mentor known to celebrate knowledge, not censor it--Hedwig Anuar. http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,201561,00.html? DEAR Mum, You're the strongest person I know. Everyone knows you...

Absolutely agree.

I think this is really the centre of the issue--what do we teach to impressionable young minds. If we are going to be cautious with them, that means that we are to teach them the conservative values to sex and sexuality, right? Even if we really think gay sexuality is "neutral" or even...

I'd forgotten about that so I went back to those clips. As you say, very interesting. Some points of interest: +They claim that their election was legitimate, and that they just happened to come from the same church. They forgot that their FM had already blown their cover--by saying...

On what matters is she liberal? Would really like your answer on that. Just that I find it hard to consider how she reconciles her homophobia with liberalism as a philosophical outlook. Maybe she hasn't thought through the contradictions in her belief system.

Yes, I agree. Schools need to take responsibility too.

Actually, they had the floor all the time. They were in charge and controlling who spoke and when. Well, they tried to, anyway. They gave the sound men instructions to shut off the mikes until they gave the go-ahead. The truth is that they had plenty of opportunity to explain themselves, but...

Re: Alex Serrenti's Aware Ltr ST Forum Gets a Robust Rebuttal From Conservative Singg Why? Does she scare the living daylight out of your fragile masculinity?

Constance Singam, Dana Lam and their followers are very well, thank you. They have not fallen over. They know very well that ultimately, society is responsible for itself. If our society is going to be stupid enough to follow people who cite the Old Testament as their moral authority, then they...

How do these Muslim, Christian, Catholic, Buddhist, Taoist, and other parents who are against these "deplorable values" plan to innoculate their kids from the media and the internet, which will be passing on the same, if not more provocative, information? Shut them up at home, take the tv remote...

Clint Eastwood too, right? And Richard Chamberlain.

Haha, what a dufus! Society has to be based on norms so that it can tolerate diversity? So everyone must be the same so that they can be different? The trouble with these people is that nobody bothers to expose their lack of logic. There is nothing wrong with her "believing that the family...

Marilyn French was the first feminist writer I read! I loved her "Women's Room"!

Hey jollybean, so there is some gender ambiguity about Ms Serrenti. At least she has some courage to dance to her own tune. If you have been near any university worth its salt over the last 20 years, you would know that gender regimes have been under attack across the whole gamut of humanities...

As they say, a little learning is a dangerous thing. This college sophomore thinks she's licked philosophy after doing philosophy 101.

Re: Singapore Home Team is SHAMELESS! NST exposed MSK was caught without ISD knowledg Seems that you missed my point that WKS is hedging, and that he had to rely on media to tell him. Yes, I suspect Malaysia did a number on us, but it also means that our side was not vigilant to this. As...

Re: Singapore Home Team is SHAMELESS! NST exposed MSK was caught without ISD knowledg Seems to me that the Malaysian side is screwing around with our security. If WKS is still talking about plans to capture MS on 16 April, then Najib is probably lying that he had told LHL about the capture on...

My guess is that the remaining 900 are Christians (possibly from COOS) who got frightened off by the National Council of Churches' statement , the pastor's sudden apology, and Minister's comment about Christians against Singapore, which appeared just before the EGM. It was very clear during...
