hi,
Catholic/Protestant schools have been around for donkey's years, and always try to integrate pupils from other faiths.
Unless you are somewhere in N.Ireland... But that's another story.
I want my kids to learn about other religions, so that in future they will understand better, other peoples driving forces.
Europe, does NOT ban the practising of other faiths, but actually encourages the practice.
Unfortunately, it is not the same in some Arab countries, where Christianity is seen as an abomination, and Christians are persecuted by not allowing them the basic human right to practice. Sometime, even the wearing of a cross on the person, is forbidden.
We in the west, have, fortunately, a faith that changes and adapts to the times and allows us the freedom we need to succeed and live peacefully in life
We are not shackled to a belief formed to subjugate followers anymore, like it was in the middle ages.
It cannot be said for some other faith...
My youngest daughter, did receive some intruction, in school, about other religions last year. Not in depth, but at the moment sufficiently to get her to know about other Creeds in the world. I hope that, as she moves to higher education, things will change and improve on the subject.
My only concern is that it will not get to the point of brainwashing. As our schools are infested with politically correct clip-board carrying bean counters.
