Sex in Schools


Submitted by Grenville Phillips II, Leader of Solutions Barbados
Solutions Barbados is disappointed with the Ministry of Education’s weak response, to the warnings from Charlie Spice of the Adult Industry Association.
Mr Spice noted that over the past three years, there have been countless child pornography videos of Barbadian school children circulating via smart phones. He noted that child prostitution was growing exponentially across Barbados, and that Barbados was on course to become the country with the highest rate of under-age sex in schools.
Solutions Barbados predicted a similar trend over two years ago, when the former Minister of Education allowed our students to have smart phones in schools, without the critical pornography filters. We have repeatedly warned of the obvious harmful consequences, since it was foreseen that children will try to mimic what they repeatedly watch. Solutions Barbados urges the BLP administration to consider the following solutions.
First, install pornography filters on all wireless routers at schools, resource centres, and anywhere where free WiFi is offered by Government. Second, install a password-protected pornography filter on every student’s cell phone when they enter the school. Third, start charging adults who have sex with our children. The cost to Government to implement each of these initiatives is $0.00.
Grenville Phillips II is a Chartered Structural Engineer and President of Solutions Barbados. He can be reached at NextParty246@gmail.com
So what else is new Mr Phillips? When you stop them from having sex in schools, they will go elsewhere and do the same thing all over again. As long as the technology is out there, you are spinning a top in mud. I know you mean well but people don’t care anymore.

As usual ,a very timely warning to the Nation of Barbados . These are the downsides of the new Information Technology Era. Information spreads more widely and with less censorship. The “sins”were always there. The good news is that we are alerted earlier and we know the nature and the vehicle. We need to counteract it. And we can with a little effort.
Thanks GPII.

Have cell phone will travel
I am confused about the gist of this column; Is the writer concerned about cell phones in schools or is he disturbed about students using cell phones to have a digital record of their sexual behavior in schools or is he alarmed about adults having sex with children?
Seems he is all over the place and just wants to get something off his chest.
I suggest a more structured column where people can debate the issues rather than a rant masquerading as an informed column.

@ Vincent there I little doubt that “we” have bee alerted early and if u want to give Phillips props on that then NP.
In more practical terms however it’s distressing that our local authorities continue to pay such disregard to this grave problem.
The school sex issue was known but the phone recording devices now make it an explosively dangerous issue and as Phillips recognizes it can have very, very bad consequences for those youth involved…. for the adult predators it MUST have legal consequences … that’s long overdue.

Dear All:
We write a weekly article, which is published across social media – including here on BU. The print, radio and TV media do not carry them. Their excuse is that they are too long, since all ‘letters to the editor’ must be less than 300 words to even be considered.
In response, we also prepare under 300-word press releases, identifying a topical issue and briefly explaining a workable solution. To give them no excuse, we try to make them under 200 words. That is not a rant.
They must now find another excuse for ignoring Solutions Barbados.

We thought you would have been a bit more controversially ‘reformative’ and call for a return to single-sex education at the secondary school level when the war of hormones are raging and racing at their fastest.
It would be interesting if the scenario of sexual exhibitionism and rites of passage affirmation occurs at the remaining single sex secondary institutions like SMSS.
If the cause or bête noir of this so-called recent trend towards sexually explicit behaviour among the youth lies at the easily-accessible feet of modern communications technology can it be assumed that similar ‘sexting’ and photo sharing opportunities via the Internet also prevail in those privately-managed secondary schools catering to a specific group of children; the progeny of those who pride themselves as being among the crème de la crème of the economic ‘lily-white’ milk jug?

When I taught at the ——- School in the 1980’s two pupils were caught engaging in the sexual act in the wood-work building by the wood-work teacher. it was Speech Day at the school and the teacher left the proceeding to check on some thing. He was a Seven Days’ Adventist( that may have had a bearing on his reactions) and was incensed more by the position they were in than the actual sex itself. He kept complaining about the position so much so that we wanted to know if he had never experienced it. So pupils having sex at school is nothing new. it may also explain in part why boys are not doing as well as girls( girls tend to be more focused) for the most part.

Many of these teen mothers are now elderly respectable matrons, some of them may even be your wives (how would you know if your wife gave birth as a teen, and gave the baby up for adoption?)

National Statistics
More than 19 million Black babies have been aborted since the 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in our country.
Black women have a significantly higher abortion rate than Whites and Hispanics.
36.0% of all abortions in the U.S. in 2014 were performed on Black women, however, only about 13.3% of the total population is Black .
African-Americans are no longer the nation’s largest minority group. Today, Hispanics have outpaced Blacks in population growth.
For every 1,000 live births, non-Hispanic Black women had 391 abortions. Non-Hispanic White women had 120 abortions per 1,000 live births.
https://rtl.org/multicultural-outreach/black-abortion-statistics/
Michigan Statistics
Black women had 12,789 of the 25,757 abortions performed on Michigan residents in 2017. (Of the total 26,594 reported abortions in Michigan in 2017, 837 were performed on non-residents and 25,757 were performed on residents).
While Black women make up only about 14% of Michigan’s female population, they had 50.6% of all abortions reported in the state in 2017.
96.2% of Black women having abortions are not married.
Black abortions by age:
Under 20 — 8.8%
20-24 — 31.1%
25-29 — 34.3%
30-34 — 15.8%
35 and Older — 10%

“Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds. And it was so.”
Maybe it’s just Mother Nature’s example of what it means to be Transgender; just built-in ‘reproductive’ redundancy in the human population; or in this case, the equine population.

Maybe the old testament people had a ‘right’ way of dealing with those male outliers who had the propensity of displaying transgender tendencies.
Why not relieve them of their budding bouncing two tools stored in a knotted ball of a bifurcated tank which might hinder their progress to such a ‘neutered’ sexual state?

Many children died agonizingly in childbirth in the sugarcane fields as a result of being prematurely forced upon by their slave masters and their ‘ecky-becky’ plantation supervisors. And there is ample ‘red-skin’ evidence all round Barbados to support that contention.

It was not me, but Hal who suggested the introduction of single sex schools. Please note that I am NOT in favour of single sex schools. I expect that there are fewer teenage pregnancies nowadays, because more reliable contraceptives, the pill, condoms at every corner shop, the morning after pill are available. Young people no longer have to “rely” on Phensic between the knees. Sorry I don’t have the stats, maybe the Ministry of Health or the Barbados Family Planning Association collects the data. Single sex schools won’t stop teens from having sex, since i expect that most of the sex takes place before school, after school, and during those nice long vacations when older teens are NOT supervised by anybody, no parents, no teachers. Remember there are 8,760 hours in a year, and teens typically spend only 5 days x 6 hours x 40 weeks=1,200 in the classroom, so that leaves 7,560 hours per year for unimaginable amounts of hanky panky.
And less we forget the age of first birth in Barbados and many other countries has typically been 19, so it means that we, our parents, grandparents, and great grand parents were also as teens engaging in sexual activity.
Please note that i am not in favour of adults engaging children in sexual activity. I am also NOT in favour of teachers and other school/education officials engaging in sexual activity with children, even if those children are older than 16.
But to imagine that we can prevent 17, 18, and 19 year olds engaging in sex.

ARE YOU OF THIS ILK AS DESCRIBED IN THESE VERSES FROM ROMANS 1?
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Any woman faced with circumstances where abortion even becomes an option is not in a fit state of mind to choose.
Yet, it is entirely her responsibility to make the choice.
She determines if her child lives or dies.
A trustworthy man can help but still, responsibility for the choice is entirely at her.
But, if she has a trustworthy man, the option of abortion will probably not present itself.

There is always faith in God on which to rely.
She and her advisors may not have a clue how it will work out but somehow God always provides a way!!
She is carrying life inside her which God made for a reason.
A man is never faced with such a choice, that’s just how we were made.

The truth is that GP knows nothing about the sex life, or the lack of a sex life of the Prime Minister. I am fairly certain that he has NEVER been in her bedroom, nor has she ever gone into his.
But he would want us to believe that rumour and gossip is the same as fact.
The truth is that just like GP the Prime Minister is entitled to have a sex life; or not have a sex life. The choice is entirely hers. GP has exercised his choices in the matter of his sex life. Other people have the same right. As long as we do not engage with minors, nor with non-consenting parties, nor deliberately infect another person with an STI what we do in the privacy of our bedrooms is nobody’s business

O! That is were so.
But you know and I know, that even while God is good, his children are much less so. And everyday in every country of the world the children of praying, asking, parents suffer, sometimes at the hands of their own neglectful or wicked parents. And too often this suffering is ignored by both the church and the state, and alas manna no longer falls from the sky.
We are not yet in the “Promised Land.” I know that, and you know it too.
And “NO” a woman should not be compelled to bear and rear a rapist’s child.

YOU ARE CORRECT JOHN …….For we walk by faith, not by sight–2 Corinthians 5:7
I learned that as a youth in the Anglican church. AI JOHNSON used to say that every Sundee!
Romans10:17 teaches that “… Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God”
i.e You get faith when you believe the FACTS. i.e the word of God NOT YOUR FEELINGS.
WHEN YOU GO BY YOUR FEELINGS YOU TALK FOOLISHNESS LIKE THE BIBLE ILLITERATES INCLUDING THE AGED ONE WHO GOES CHURCH EVERY SUNDEE
Hebrews 11:6 TEACHES But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience- James 1: 3 is what it is all about.

++++++++++++++++++++++++
Course, but they are not the ones having abortions!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Isn’t “white privilege” really another way of denigrating and undermining Christianity without being called for religious intolerance?
The decision to subject her body to an abortion rests entirely with the woman who wants , or think she wants, to be rid of the child.
God deals with individuals on an individual basis.
But the individual has to make an individual decision to come to him for help.
“More than 19 million Black babies have been aborted since the 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in our country.
Black women have a significantly higher abortion rate than Whites and Hispanics.
36.0% of all abortions in the U.S. in 2014 were performed on Black women, however, only about 13.3% of the total population is Black .
African-Americans are no longer the nation’s largest minority group. Today, Hispanics have outpaced Blacks in population growth.
For every 1,000 live births, non-Hispanic Black women had 391 abortions. Non-Hispanic White women had 120 abortions per 1,000 live births.”
So, is it really “white privilege”, racism and whatever other “over arching and all encompassing explanations” “experts” seek to invent to explain these differences or is it just the Power freely available to an individual at work?
If a woman’s life is not at stake and everything is physically normal in the pregnancy, doesn’t the question of abortion really arise in the mind?
The sheer scale of the numbers of abortions suggest there are powerful forces at work to change a normal individual’s mindset and deliberately kill children.
