The Culture Committee of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday approved an amendment to Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara’s “informed consent” bill, extending the current ban on sex education from kindergartens and primary schools to middle schools (ages 11 to 14).
Context: Giuseppe Valditara, Education secretary, is a male, 64;
Giorgia Meloni, Prime minister, is a female, 48. Pic related.
She tabled the bill to continue limiting sex-ed.
Opinion: Progress. Although killing your partner is not directly related to sex-ed, sex-ed is generally good. Students learn hygiene and STI prevention.
I don’t study these curriculums, but the class I took didn’t mention homosexuals or gender roles. Gender id and transgender weren’t in pop culture, but I doubt it is included today.
Edit: Sorry guys, I read the article poorly.
Giorgia Latini, not Giorgia Meloni (prime minister), tabled the measure. It isn’t clear from the article if the measure was tabled before or after the Valditara’s amendment was approved. And Giorgia Meloni weighed in on gender theory, not necessarily sex ed.
I can’t seem to determine from this article if sex education will be limited more or not, just that it is an issue for debate in Italy.
I fail to see how this is progress. I know in the US “tabled” means the topic is set aside, but elsewhere the term means the precise opposite: to suggest the formal discussion of something.
This is Italy further restricting sex education, unless I’m seriously misunderstanding the article. The opposite of progress.
She brought to the table an extension of the limit from primary to middle school. And it passed. So no sex ed until kids are over 14. Meanwhile the average age of menarche is 12 years. And girls and women are being murdered. But all she cares about is keeping kids from learning about any options besides traditional marriage and gender roles.
This is not progress.
