Homosexuality starts in primary

First, before I discuss what’s wrong with this paper, I keep saying the standard of journalism we see around is despicable. What would it take this journalist to provide a link to the report he mentions?

The idea the report and the journalist are peddling is that there are things that cause homosexuality. One of these is social grouping. You can’t make this up. He writes

The report by a special investigation team on last year’s school unrest and which was presented to Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i recently, also identified social grouping as source of the practice.

I can only take this mean to mean children in primary school should not be in any form of grouping. Social groups are for adults only and only if you are heterosexual. If you are gay/ lesbian, forget it.

Were you ever absent minded? Secretive? Does your child lack concentration in class? Be very wary they could be, lesbian. Yes. The journalist reports

It says students who are lesbians are absent minded, lack concentration in class and are very secretive.

Does that scare you enough? Have you thought of withdrawing your child from primary school yet? This should scare you. Does your girl child buy bananas? Do you see her liking bananas? Be wary, those are lesbian tendencies. I am not making this up.

Other characteristic include girls buying bananas and test tubes for ‘use’ in their dormitories, hostility towards the opposite sex, affection to same gender and possessive friendship. Girls write love notes to fellow girls, girls behaving like men, funny hairstyles and dress code, indecent behaviours such as touching other girls’ privates, pairing and always found together, sharing beds and holding hands.

And do you have a boy who has condoms? He is gay. Is he friendly? He is gay. Shy? Very gay.

If I scared you, don’t worry, the school boards have a solution to all these. What did they do? Well…

The report notes that students who engage in lesbianism and homosexually are either suspended, transferred to other schools, referred to boards of managements for disciplinary action or they are guided and counselled.

This, my dear friends is shoddy journalism. It should not appear on a paper with nationwide circulation. Since this is a digital copy, the editor ought to ask that relevant links be provided for those who are interested in a follow up. What do they teach in journalism schools these days?
