My 5 year old daughter has recently started a new school of which she enjoys very much.
Recently she has started asking me questions and singing religeous songs...
My question is this... As an Atheist I dont feel it is fair to force something onto my daughter who is at an impressionable age.
I could possibly understand it if they presented the case from both sides ie. Darwin etc... but all they are doing is teaching about god and I do not approve. When I was in school I didnt take much notice but the be honest with you I dont remember being told about god at such an early age.
If my school will let my daughter avoid such lessons would she be made to sit on her own - of which I dont want.
Anyone have any thoughts?
