Worries Allayed Over Teaching Of Religious Education In Queensland State Schools
Author: Rosemary Odgers Source: Courier-Mail (AU)
Title: WORRIES ALLAYED
Education Minister Rod Welford has written to all Government MPs in a bid to quell concerns about proposed changes to the teaching of religious education in Queensland state schools.
Nervous backbenchers are worried they face a backlash from some Christian churches amid claims the laws could allow humanists and extreme religious groups access to school students.
He rejected suggestions that cults and witchcraft would be allowed to be taught in schools once the Bill had passed.
And he said parents and schools would have to approve the teaching of less popular belief systems.

If they allow many more other religious and spiritual viewpoints to be taught, then it would actually make it a better 'religion' class. In PA, when I was taught about religions of the world, it was about all of the religions, and not just Xian religious instruction. But due to having so many other possible viewpoints, the parents will probably all end up opting the children out of these classes.

That's it, I've decided. When I have kids, I will be homeschooling them.
