The mess that is SPHE

All right-minded people realise that the current SPHE proposals are a mess.

The new SPHE content includes discussions on:

Mental health and wellbeing

Healthy relationships and consent

Sexuality and sexual orientation

Gender identity

Online safety and media literacy

There are ongoing disputes on how topics such as gender identity, relationships, and sexuality are being presented to students.

This curriculum content is built on the secular humanist worldview that all we are healthy, self-centred animals, with no agreed values and norms and this guides how should conduct ourselves (naturally, within the law). There are other more widely accepted approaches which recognise the inherent dignity of the human person and the norms that arise from that dignity.

The So What three volume Anti-Wellbeing Guide launching in 2025 shows up the emptiness of what the NCCA proposes. It provides an ideal wellbeing antidote to the stupidity that currently is being proposed.
