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.

So I just spent a little time looking through it here:
https://www.cssd.ab.ca/curriculum
and wow, now I'm even more disturbed tax dollars go to these schools. Everyone here likes to say it is not really different than public schools, but just these points are disgusting lies and trash.
This was about the only reference to contraception I could find. Do they really no teach anything valuable about it?
There are also a few articles from 2017 when the NDP was in charge, and the Catholics were trying to get curriculum approved. Now that the UCP seems to be rooted in God, I presume they are hastily crafting new curriculum full of mounds of bull#### that will only serve to damage individuals and society. I can't believe it's 2023 in Canada and we still have this type of nonsense fight, let alone government that endorses it.
