My evangelical school did a “classical education” and made the mistake of actually having some critical thinking after all the indoctrination. I’m a pagan leftist transgender homosexual now.

Religion requires you to not have critical thinking skills at all

I went to a Catholic school - they did their level best not to avoid anything resembling it (and sex education).

Just so I understand, the catholic school you attended did teach critical thinking and sex education?

Mine did, too. Hell, I had a 4th grade teacher that taught the class how to meditate during the last 5-10 minutes of class. She would turn off the lights, have us put our heads down on our desk and would put on a CD with new age bell/chime/gong meditation music, and she would talk us through guided meditations; simple visualization and relaxation. She also taught us to stand up and speak out when we saw someone doing something bad: “You are doing the wrong thing!”
