Many of these things aren't relegated to just the teaching of religion -- unfortunately. I've been worried about some of the stuff just taught in history class. The selective information that is now in these textbooks is close to frightening. I've had to have numerous talks with my son about what he is being taught regarding Russia. He has come home from school on more than one occassion very upset about how "Russia is bad", "Russians can't be trusted". Try explaining what was going on in the world at that time to a 13 year old boy that doesn't have a real grasp of the English language.
