AIBU to be THAT parent? (Religious Observance)

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

In school, I think it is very important to learn about all world religions, for education, tolerance, historical perspective etc

However, I strongly object to praying/worshipping/being taught belief as fact.

Would it be really unreasonable to withdraw DD from the latter? (Scotland)

It's not supposed to be secular - it's supposed to be "non-denominational" - there is still supposed to be "Religious Observance". If only we could have secular schools

There is a Jewish Primary in Glasgow and I think there are also a few Episcopal schools as well as the "catchment" RC primary and secondary schools. In Glasgow some of the RC schools have a majority of Muslim, Sikh or Hindu pupils

All state schools are under a statutory obligation to provide "collective worship broadly Christian in nature" and have been since 1980. Blame Thatcher.

Back in the dark ages when I was a child I wasn't allowed to attend assembly as I was a Catholic. Non denominational school in England. It wasnt my parents who had the problem, it was a school rule. It was a Christian assembly and the atheists went, the Muslims went, the Hindus went but for some strange reason Catholics weren't allowed.

I honestly feel I missed out on alot of school stuff, never heard the announcements, only ever heard what was going on secondhand. I wish I had been allowed to go but I don't know if that helps or not as we are all different.
