In England, the National Curriculum mandates religious education as well as sex education beginning in nursery school (that would be age 3). Our objection to our boys being taught proper human anatomy or the core beliefs of the Hindu faith in state school was the fact that it is impossible for those things to be taught without the influence of the teacher's worldview beliefs and prejudices being interjected into the conversation. How can anyone discuss religion and sexuality objectively? The headteacher, in an attempt to reassure us I guess, pointed out that the children also learn about Christianity. Needless to say it didn't have the calming effect she was expecting.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349581863337490686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208902948988975499.post-91879101677906265292009-08-21T02:19:33.911-05:002009-08-21T02:19:33.911-05:00It's interesting that they think that teachers...It's interesting that they think that teachers aren't ALREADY forcing their opinions on students. I mean, how many years did I have to listen to my English teachers drone on about humanism? And Sience? Psh, even at my Baptist college the science teacher said anyone who believed in a literal translaion of the genesis account was an idoit.<br /><br />Also, the idea that an individual lacks the abilty to decern what they belief by the time their in high school fits very much in line with the "It's not your fault" worldview that the adult generation supports. That all our actions and beliefs are the fault of mommy or daddy or some teacher from yester-yearMatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035739679298912942noreply@blogger.com
