In 74 lessons and 83 hours of Family Life Education, from kindergarten to 12th grade, there is little to no discussion about getting married. The word “wedding” appears just once, under the headline “Stressful Events,” which (even if sometimes true!) is hardly encouraging for marriage, the foundation of family life and society itself and a glaring omission from a curriculum entitled “Family Life Education.”
The effect of the FLE approach to sexuality was strikingly illustrated by a woman seated in a high school auditorium where a sex education curriculum was being discussed. The teachers and staff had explained the curriculum and opened the floor to a question-and-answer session.
