Censorship

Posted by: host 1/7/2006
I just received an email from our Global Advisory Board member Dr. Brian Michael Jones of Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong. Brian is head of the Division of Immunology in the Pathology Department working with pediatric AIDS. Here is what he wrote: "I'll look forward to checking the revamped website. Actually I've just attempted to go there and would you believe our firewall (Hospital Authority) has blocked entrance because of "sex education content"?!!! That's what we're up against!!!" Censorship of medically accurate facts is on the rise in American schools and overseas in communist China. Our mission statement is clear: we believe it is the human right of every maturing teen to have complete access to medically accurate information. No government or adult society has the right to deny young people the necessary information to save their lives. Censorship of high-risk behaviors is neither cool nor wise. Adults who censor the facts and obfuscate the prevention education are actually helping to increase the incidence of HIV and death by AIDS among adolescents. They must be held accountable. In the meantime, inquisitive youth can come to our website from everywhere, every day, 24 hours a day - and in 23 major languages. Yes, our message can be stopped momentarily, but we have internet friends who know how to get the word to those in real need. Won't you help? Make a tax-deductible donation to TeenAIDS.
