How about we let kids grow up how they/ their parents want them to. The government should not a have a role in deciding what morals a kid has. Enroll the kid in a private school or something if you're worried about "bad influences" in public schools.

That would be too costly and extensive. It would interfere with classes and subjects that are actually important.

I don't see why it couldn't be incorporated into a history course. Besides, in high school (at least the one I went to), we had a few compulsory subjects but the rest were optional - meaning we could choose which courses to take, not that we could choose to not take any.

I think it's become a bit more of a phenomenon with high schools that are trying to become more "collegiate" in the sense that star athletes can load up on all the underwater basket-weaving classes they want.

I went to school when there were very few electives, and all could be considered to have positive value in the world. I spent mine to take 4 years of Spanish (would be even more useful if I was from this area) and a couple computer classes. Never was I offered a choice to take something so irrelevant as some sort of PC-based cultural studies.
