Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Weirdly Catholic schools in America are often the least conservative and pushy on doctrine. I went to a Catholic school in NC and had the same experience essentially. Never got any brimstone and the priest had a few academic lectures on parts of the Bible.
From my understanding, most Catholic schools are very good about core curriculums. They just fail abysmally at sex education.
The one I went to wasn't HS but they did great at adolescent development, including sexual development. They also never spoke about contraception, masturbation or abortion in sermons, lectures or classes.
They prefer mandatory practical training in that regard ...
Same, MA in the 80s and 90s; very solid science and social studies/civics too. There was a bit of bias perhaps in the lessons about Israel, but mostly about how Gaza and the West Bank were “contested” and how the Dome of the Rock was built on the former Temple of the Mount site. All of that was in the “Religion” class though, and was pretty middle of the road on taking sides, although from what I remember it really didn’t cover the Nakba or anything (but maybe I wasn’t paying attention for that part, it was middle school Religion class lol)
