"Offensive" material kept off textbooks by Catholic Bishops


Decent sex education in Philippine public schools. Long overdue. But then how can this become a reality with the Philippine Taliban making sure that "offensive" material is being kept off public school textbooks...
Education officials insist that the bishops have nothing to worry about because the DepEd is open to deleting portions of the teaching modules that the Church finds offensive.

Excuse me, but since when does a state institution such as the Department of Education answer to the Roman Catholic Church? Perhaps we should now start considering the Pope and his Cardinals as the new overlords of the Filipino people.
