I think, @MTmom2015, for those of us who have been on the receiving end of religious discrimination, it is indeed a very big deal. I am not intolerant of other people’s religions, but I am intolerant of them forcing THEIR religion down my throat or the throat of my kids. And there is a big difference between a class where you learn about all the world’s religions, and a class that requires you to learn about the majority’s religion. History has shown that the majority isn’t always right. My D and I didn’t care how fabulous the MT program was if it included being force fed a religion we did not believe in. The class was held IN A CHURCH. So I think the point is, for people who this might bother, they should be aware and check. B/c usually, the schools that require this type of class have a culture that may be uncomfortable for someone of a “minority” religion, or no religion at all. Just sayin’…
