I think if you are going to continue having your children present in these types of institutions, you should arm them with the correct knowledge so they can

That is not a public school I think, you are talking about a private school. A private school for Muslims.
I don't think so.
Is it?

"We teach out of the book, and there are some supplemental class activities," he told WND. "The kids do some skits, they could bring a food from the region, you could build a prop that would have depicted (something) maybe during that time period.
"If you wanted to you could dress up (as a Muslim) for extra credit," he said.
What is RE and what is a Dyonisis?

Actually my first child did not know what a Bible was until she was 16, she's now 18 and has been offered a full Harvard Law scholarship. So I don't see how absense of religion was bad for her.
She is not morally wrong in any sense, she's actually more intelligent that I am I think. She's a mature woman who makes her own decisions and has her own beliefs that were formed by her own experiences, not some 3000 year old texts.
Being absent of religion does not mean you are saying life has no purpose it is quite the obvious. If it takes religion in your life to give you a purpose than you're persception of life is very wrong my friend.
I am not a religious person, I am a very spiritual person. My purpose in life is to live for myself and the people that I love, I do not require any sort of religion or faith based morals to live a very comfortable, happy and productive life.
Yes balance is key to everything, but saying that something to the likes of no religion equals no purpose in life is very close minded.

As of today I am now totally and utterly pissed off by the attempts of deluded xtians trying to infiltrate the lives of my children and force, their ridiculous repugnant beliefs down my children’s throats.

And here’s why -
As of recent my child started comprehensive school in Wales UK, the school is classified as a secular school. If I wanted my child to attend a religious school I would have enrolled my child at a religious school.

I have only recently learned that on the first day she started this “Secular” school that along with her books, diaries that she was given there was also a “BIBLE”!!!!!!!!
Needless to say I was very pissed off indeed with xtian propaganda being shoved down my child’s throat, and contacted the school.

I see no reason why you could not home school your children.

I personally think that kids should be shielded from all religion, including athiesm, until they reach around 15 or 16. At least then they can look at all them with some form of maturity and make a choice about what they want to believe.
When a kid has been force-fed a religion since birth, they are far less likely to think for themselves about that choice.

She understood what they were about, but always thought of it as being kind of silly that people would fight over things they could not prove or even have intelligent conversation without it turning into bloodshed.
This is a religious education class. What really did you expect?
