To be a little disappointed that Jesus is being taught as fact in Y1?

We're atheists, so therefore didn't consider any faith schools for our DD.

We want her to learn about all cultures and religions and be tolerant of them all. We have friends of many faiths and beliefs and just want to be kind and happy.

Of course I expect (and welcome) Christianity to be taught in school, but we just got a copy of this term's curriculum (DD just started Y1) and for a non-faith school it seems a bit much.

Or am I being unrealistic and the school and church will always be linked?

Some of the RE points are:

"To learn who Jesus was" "who were his friends" "what did he do?"

I guess I was expecting a "what do Christians believe?" "why do they celebrate Christmas" etc etc than what seems to be a fact based history lesson....

Either way I'm not going to kick up a fuss with school, it's not a big deal really, she's free to make her own decisions in life. Just surprised me a little.

Morning, everyone. Just popping by with an appeal for a bit of peace and love.

We think everyone should be allowed to air their view on religion (and that includes all religions), but we will delete any posts that become attacks on people of certain religions - or, indeed, just on other posters - so please try to keep your posts polite, even if you disagree heartily with someone.

Thanks!
