CIANJUR - The Cianjur Regency Government (Pemkab) has instructed the addition of religious subjects in every educational institution in Cianjur from elementary to secondary schools so that students do not easily fall into promiscuity. Cianjur Regent Herman Suherman said that the addition of hours of religious subjects is to foster morals and mentality of students in order to avoid prohibited acts such as free sex, drug abuse and same-sex relationships. "Education and religious basis must be further improved in learning and the lives of school-age children ranging from elementary, junior high and high school to equal, do not let them get the wrong direction because they are not equipped with a strong religious basis," he said in Cianjur, Wednesday. Moreover, said Herman, Cianjur is known as the City of Santri whose people's lives are closer to religion. According to him, a number of activities that have occurred recently have violated religious norms. In recent weeks, many religious violations have occurred in Cianjur, such as same-sex marriage and the circulation of videos like husband and wife couple who are known to be students of a State Vocational School in Cianjur. "For same-sex marriages, it is clear that the bride's family does not know. If it is a nasty video case, even though it is not the authority of the local government, it must still be a concern," he said.

Not only increasing the hours of religious lessons, his party will involve community leaders and religious scholars throughout Cianjur to provide guidance for students in their respective environments so as not to fall into activities that are prohibited by religion. Meanwhile, regarding the video of students wearing batik at SMAN 1 Sukaresmi, the Head of SMAN 1 Sukaresmi, Dede Dadan Nurjaman, admitted that the student in the video was indeed a student at his school but had left or graduated in 2017. To anticipate the same thing, his party no longer maximizes supervision of students while in the school environment or outside the school, including asking parents to increase supervision of their children while in the environment where they live. "It is true that the female female cast of our school alumni, the initials M, at this time we do not know his whereabouts because I had not been the principal at that time. We increased supervision so that no more prohibited things were done by students," he said.
