I don’t recall ever doing anything religious at all at school ever. Never stepped foot in a church, was never asked to or encouraged to pray or believe etc. I don’t recall doing anything remotely religious except religious studies…where we learned about world religions, not Catholicism.

On the other hand, my school had better teachers, sports and programs than the public option available to me at the time.

Seems like people hoping for the better education minus the indoctrination already got their wish.
Do Catholic schools teach comprehensive sex education (including how to properly use different types of contraceptives) as part of the standard curriculum? This is a legitimate question, btw -- I honestly don't know the answer.

If Catholic schools don't provide this information to students, then I would say that is indeed letting the Church's religious beliefs interfere with providing children with necessary information they will need as adults.
