inappropriate video shown in school

Had forgotten about this video, also shown to us in an all boys Marist Brothers school, the bit that I remember was the body being left in a bin bag as the abortion in question was late on.
Can't remember what age I was, think I was too young to realise, but it was during a religion class and the Brother cried at the end and the class laughed
Abortion is a fact of life and if covered then maybe in a science class from a biology perspective
 
Sadly so, along with murder, rape, child abuse and other wrongs

As far as I know none of the other topics are shown in school though are they?
 
The whole thing is one big arugment to keep the religious orders out of the education business.

Don't know; I'm a long time out of school. IMHO ethics should be part of the 2nd level curriculum and could cover all said topics.

By all means cover these topics including abortion but no need to show inappropriate videos to minors without their parents consent. This would also apply to murder,rape etc... you can discuss without these OTT shock tactics.

I fully agree.

Completely agree with you fobs, that's why I asked the school if they felt entitled to show my daughter pornography without my consent. Its the same thing, its galling that they've one rule for themselves and another for everything else.
