It is really m/s/b/ad that the government feels that
it must override the wishes of parents in this way

In a parochial school???? The government can do that? Here the government
only dictates what must be yaught in the secular subjects. They leave the
teaching of religion completely alone. Are your parochial schools
subsidized by the government? Ours are not except for an occasional shared
phys ed or art program where it profits the public school and the parochail
school to share for economies sake.


It is a private school. I don't know what you mean by a "parochial" school.
It is funded entirely by the fees, which are paid by the parents.

Apparently, it is now illegal to give children a religious upbringing of
any sort

A new anti-discriminaton law came into effect this week. "Sexuality"
discrimination is now illegal. This sounds fine, on the surface. However,
when one looks into the fine print, it becomes a bit scary.

Any references to homosexuals, that might be construed as "offensive" are
now illegal. This is Political Correctness gone mad. A small employer may
now be prosecuted for failing to prevent his staff from discussing the
controversy surrounding the appointment of a gay bishop in the States.


What is more important? The right to free speech, or the right to hear
nothing that might offend?
