Kenyan launches LGBTQ crackdown in schools

Kenya's education ministry has started a campaign to combat what it called the LGBTQ agenda's infiltration of institutions.

Chaplaincies will be established by the government in schools, minister Ezekiel Machogu informed lawmakers on Thursday.

There are worries that the initiative will result in schools teaching false information about LGBTQ people and same-sex relationships.

Gay sex is still illegal, but anti-gay sentiment has gotten worse since the Supreme Court upheld the gay community's right to establish an organization last month.

According to the minister, a committee has already been established to address LGBTQ problems in schools, and one of its potential responsibilities is to examine school textbooks.

An archbishop from the Kenyan Anglican Church will serve as its leader.

These are problems that we must prevent from entering our institutions, Mr. Machogu said.

The senator raised concerns about the alleged expansion of the LGBTQ agenda in elementary schools, and the minister was replying to him.
