Personally, I would not want to be associated with any school who didn't.

Richard Sir, am snowed in....literally here Sir, so I am on PS a little more than usual today, but....Did I offend the Panda? Do you have it in for me today? Argh!

Am hoping not Sir, as my knowledge is always greater after reading your posts.

It's good to know about foreign cultures and languages though.

Yes, you have to teach about the culture when teaching a language. This is my problem with this. Religion is a big part of their Culture. They are going to have to teach it.
But so is the savagery and total lack of respect for Human kind. They are so pitiful that they have to beat their Woman down. Because they are insecure cowards that are threatened by Woman. They keep their woman covered up because they are savages who can't control themselves.
See, thats the part that they will leave out of the classroom.

Actually, a major point of discussion when teaching the world's major religions in school are the incongruities between a group's professed beliefs and their demonstrated actions as viewed through the historical record.

And so it goes...

Is that your way of saying, did I walk to school or carry my lunch.

I carried my lunch, too, but rode the bus...uphill both ways.
