In the year 2000, Harcourt Religion Publishers came out with Growing in Love (GIL), a program for Catholic grade schools (K-8) aiming to provide a “Catholic education in relationships”. The family is mentioned as the “primary community” that is to be “helped” by this program to provide children with what is described as “a systematic presentation of our Catholic Tradition”. This will be done, it is claimed, with the help of the “whole Church community” as “co-partners”; and the presentation will feature a “multi-cultural approach [that encourages] diversity [and] non-stereotypical roles”, and takes into account a “broader idea of family beyond the nuclear family”.
