my faith means that I or my kids wouldn't do any thing at another faith church that would be considered an act of worship so although i wouldnt consider putting on a scarf to break that rule others may

personally i don't think you can learn much about another religion from a short visit to their placer of worship in any case it is just being done to make it look like they are doing their bit at teaching about other faiths imho

they would gain far more knowledge reading about it and maybe getting a person from that religion to come and answer any questions that they might have about what they read in thier own school where they would feel less presure about breaking some taboo they hadnt learned about and more likely to ask searching questions that may not have been asked while trying not to upset the worshipers at the place of worship
