The Archbishop of Uganda, Rt. Rev. Stanley Ntagali, has condemned comprehensive sex education in schools as "not what the young generation requires," adding that it promotes homosexuality.

Rt. Rev. Ntagali spoke with the press on Wednesday, saying he wondered why the Minister of Education seemed reluctant to remove sex ed from the curriculum, Ugandan news station NBS TV reports.

"[The] program promotes homosexuality and we are concerned about how it was allowed to be taught in some of our schools. We call for its removal," he said.

Uganda has strict laws against homosexuality, including the possibility of life in prison. An eight-year-old girl was recently arrested by Ugandan police on suspicion of lesbianism.

"We do not know who smuggled that [in]," Rt. Rev. Ntagali said about reading materials the church finds objectionable. "You ask the Minister of Education, they say they are not aware. When you ask the National Curriculum Development Center, they deny [having anything to do with it]…As [the] church, we are saying we are not there."

He blames the lessons for the desire for abortions and contraception, as well as for a lack of abstinence before marriage and faithfulness afterwards.

The archbishop previously called gay bishops a "spiritual cancer" that is "tearing apart" the Anglican faith.
