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).

    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 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.
