This was a visit to a Mosque, not a brain washing exercise, no-one was being 'forced' to believe in anything, just have a look round, the girls were asked to wear a scarf during the visit, it wasn't a big deal.
Education involves safe investigation of where the boundaries are, the teacher was guilty of nothing more than allowing the students to compare religions based on a real experience - the problem was not with the teacher, but with the parents seeking to prejudice that process.
- common sense & bigotry do not exist in the same place, Arthur ...
