Prior to the 1960s, in a common form of the examination of conscience used before going to the Sacrament of Confession, one of the sins listed as contrary to the Fourth Commandment for parents was "sending children to Protestant and other dangerous schools."

How tragic. I was depressed to the point of being suicidal when I was a teenager, and I blame a lot of it on godless public schooling. (Don't ever call it "education.") Government schools do incalculable damage to our society. Sadly, some Catholic schools don't seem to be much better these days, but at least as institutions they're not founded on a raft of errors.

In the UK the Catholic schools are actually worse than the state schools when it comes to dealing with these issues. Many Catholic teachers refuse to teach in the Catholic sector because it is too liberal.

The laws on child abuse should be extended to subjecting children to this kind of pornography. If there is no link between homosexuality and paedophilia, why are the queers intent on getting this material into the hands of children?

My best friends family is sending there kids first to a LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) grade school and then to a Catholic high school (no Catholic grade schools). He is a lapsed Lutheran, she a lapsed Catholic.

Neither wanted their kids to go to what passes for public education these days.
