But still, it's a ridiculous idea but this annoyed me

‘We are a mainly Christian school, but we have to cover at least one other religion as part of the National Curriculum. This visit is part of that.'

...um, because you have to? How about because you should be because that's what receiving a balanced, healthy and open minded education is all about. Either teach children about all religious beliefs on an equal level, or teach them none at all. This veiled indoctrination of kids is so disgusting.

Such veiled threats towards children by threatening to label them as 'racist' is what is really disgusting.

I think it is perfecting reasonable for a school in Britain to maintain traditional religions such as COE or Catholic as it's main religion - just as I would expect a school in Iran to do the same, and of course they would.
