He was banging on last year about the crucifiction and the reserruction to a hall of 3-6 year olds! My daughter was all confused about people being able to come back to life... then this year they showed my daughter a film about the crucifiction! She was horrified!

Yeah, they can take it too far. But I don't think it's relegated to just religion wither. Schools are wanting the kids to grow up too fast I think, my auntie and a load of other parents went in complaining last week because their class of year 2's had started sex education classes. They'd been shown a video discussing "mummy and daddy's special hug" without even asking the parents consent or anything. My nan nearly choked when they came home talking about it.
