Subject: RE: BS: Is Religion a form of Mental Illness ???
Seems to me with so many religions floating about, that religious instruction should be left to the parents or the church. Unless of course you want your child to be instructed in a faith which may not be your own.

Seems odd to me. Here we celebrate the 'traditional' Canadian holidays but also Dwali, Chinese New Year, The Moon Festival and
Hannakah. Just what type of religious instruction would you give when your students represent thirteen different language groups? Religous instruction in public schools? Unbelievable. Best we can do is compare and contrast. Then we celebrate our similarities.
