There are too many religious and political influences around that might give the wrong kind of message to the young and growing child.


We need to have children who can think for themselves and do what they feel is right for themselves individually and not for some totalitarian religious or political group that sees only a minute microcsm of their own values in the Global world of today.

As a parent you should expose them to it however you feel appropriate, but that doesn't mean government schools should take on the job of exposing anyone to anything other than education in reading, writing, math, etc.

To the part I bolded: You are right - the individualist in your is speaking. School is no place for applying any kind of influences whether they are the kind you agree with or not. School is where skills and knowledge are taught, not influences.
