<p>I fail to see what is so horrifying about learning about religions. I fail to see why “teaching” Christianity, or Judaism, or Islam, is a crime. What’s the alternative? “Okay kids, today we’re going to discuss the political situation in Israel.” “Sir, what do the Muslims believe?” “Well, Johnny, you have to let your parents explain that to you. See, it’s not a part of your education. And really, it IS possible to learn about this without understanding the religion behind it. Trust me.”
“Sir, why is there a conflict in Ireland?” “It started with the split between the Catholics and Protestants -” “Sir, how are they different?” “Well, Johnny, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. That would be brainwash.”</p>
