An editorial in the Vatican’s official newspaper has lambasted the decision of New York’s Department of Education (DOE) to mandate sex education for children, grades 6 through high school.
“It is not clear why public institutions in the West continue to have such magical trust in the effectiveness of sex education,” said Lucetta Scaraffia, the author of the editorial in L’Osservatore Romano.
When the results of sex education prove again-and-again to be “disastrous, you pretend not to know it,” Scaraffia said. “It is much easier to ignore the problem, pretend to resolve it with useless, and even harmful, school courses, rather than address the issue which underlies it.”
The core problem, said Scaraffia, is the “resounding failed utopia of the sexual revolution and subsequent breakdown of the first institution of moral education, the family.”
In an August 9th letter to New York school principals, Chancellor Dennis Walcott said that he believes that the school system has an “important role to play with regard to educating our children about sex and the potential consequences of engaging in risky behaviour.”
