[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 489340"] I LOVE your post InsaneCdn but I could only click "Like" My son went to a public grammar school for a year that completely ignored religion while at the same time emphasizing a curriculum designed to promote racial unity and anti discrimination. They intensely concentrated on Black History month (which is great) but ignored Latin-America and European-American cultures - which was the cultural background of nearly all of the kids. I always found it hypocritical. Racial persecution is a huge issue in the modern world - but so is religious persecution; especially evident post 9/11. I'd rather my kids learn about all religions AND atheism than to ignore the subject completely. At their "winter pageant" - they sang about SNOW. On October 31, they celebrated the HARVEST. Good Friday and Yum Kippur were "teacher in-service days" (ie 'off) instead of simply "no school holidays." That wasn't the reason we switched to a parochial school - but I was glad to do so. by the way - my boys' parochial school sang Kwanzaa and Hannukah songs (and SNOW songs LOL) at their Christmas pageant-despite being a Catholic school.
