Way back when I was in grade school, there was a significant amount of opposition to having sex ed in St. Josephs. Reading some of the recent townhall.com articles, I begin to see the danger here that simply was not even envisioned back then. While I doubt that even at their worst, any of the Catholic Schools have anything even approaching the horrors that Ms. Janice Shaw Crouse documents,[1] I do see the rise in outcome-based-education type initiatives in the Catholic School system here to have a significant potential for state or federal regulation of the Catholic school systems much along the lines of the "Standards of Learning" tests now mandated for the public schools. Such regulation would eventually contain mandates for programs such as those that Ms. Crouse rightly denounces.
