Here is just a very odd idea.
It is argued that:
- we ought to teach safe sex in schools because if we don't there will simply be kids having unsafe sex, thus being more apt to contract disease or have unwanted pregnancy.
- sex is natural and beautiful and shouldn't be treated as a dirty phenomenon.
- religious conservatives are trying to get their agenda into school, and essentially violating the rights of everyone else and making us look like we live in the stone age by trying to teach stuff like 'abstinence only,' which simply have not proven to be effective.
What if we had a system that essentially regulated violence between students, and emphasized what 'honorable fighting' is, and how to control violent altercations so that no one is seriously hurt.
Teach kids mixed martial arts and offer programs at schools that would allow teachers to regulate and observe fighting; much as a school passes out condoms, we could have regulatory bodies to insure the safety of students who desired to fight to settle a conflict.
Whereas:
- violence is going to happen, anyways, and is more likely to have negative repercussions if we do not insure it is done ethically and safely between consenting parties who have an understanding of how to avoid permanent damage.
- violence is natural and beautiful. The fighting entertainment industry rakes in billions across the globe because people are thrilled and excited to see physical combat.
- Liberals are trying to manipulate our schools with 'pacifism only' policies; they have gone to such extents as to create 'zero tolerance' policies concerning violence, even if it is done by two consenting people. They are trying to erect their godless religion of humanism.
And maybe we can all wonder why the liberals took boxing class out of traditional education.
It has even been said of teaching violent sport in school:

It has even been said of teaching violent sport in school:
'In my own constituency, it's probably the number one sport that young people want to do. It gives them self-esteem, it gets rid of aggression, yet at the same time it's a highly disciplined sport.
'We know it can be a way of disengaging kids from gangs, carrying knives, from low level crime and high level anti-social behaviour.'
It has become so popular in schools, quite simply, because it works,' said Rebecca Gibson, head of development at the Amateur Boxing Association of England.
Among the schools that have already seen the benefits of boxing is the Harris Academy in Merton, South London.
'It has had an impact on everything here, from behaviour and attendance to academic attainment,' said Greg Morrison, assistant principal.
