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?
The additional views of their faith are secrecy and shame, which aren't really compatible with a frank discussion.
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
Eh, I personally dont want additional standards being taught in publically funded class rooms. If the church wants to shame its members, they can do that in their own buildings on their own time.
I went to a christian school, but I went for an education, not an indoctrination. If I or my parents wanted the latter we would have to church.
On the upside, from my experience/anecdotal data point, my school did a fantastic job of taking in fairly faithful students and beating that out of them :D
Yeah I agree with you and I think there's a lot to be said about if and what role publicly funded religious schools should play in society.
I think the priveliged position of these schools right now makes the original complaint here even more ridiculous.
