Is anyone shocked Catholics wouldn’t want to teach consent.
Seems like a ridiculous take to me. Of course consent isn’t the only standard, it’s just the bare minimum standard that everyone should be taught across our society regardless of religion. If you want to add the views of your particular faith on top of that, as far as I understand there’s nothing stopping you, so what’s the problem here exactly?
Sex Ed in religious schools is an odd thing in general. It can be seen as a passive encouragement to have sex before marriage. As far as the more conservative are concerned, the Bible has taught all that needs to be taught outside of family and that’s “worked” for all this time, so don’t change it.
And thats why countries and regions with strong catholic sentiment tend to have the highest rates of teen pregnancy
"Yet, the federal and state governments appear to have decided that such highly sensitive, amoral and potentially harmful information must now be provided by teachers and that it must start in the first years of schooling.
Oh no, someone is protecting children from sexual predators! That will put Australian priests at a disadvantage in the catholic kiddy fiddler of the year challenge, how could they?!
