Sorry, but I'm still not seeing why anyone should be 'forced' to take this course.
It should be offered, sure...but not forced.
If someone has a history in world religion, let them take the class. If they don't....don't force them.
Just like Physics, Chemistry, or Biology. Here in Alberta at least you don't actually have to take a 20 or 30 level course in any of those. You can actually take a Science 20/30 class that covers part of each, or you can take a Physics 20/30, Biology 20/30 or Chemistry 20/30 class.
Or you can take two of them.
Its all about what the kids are interested in.
Social Studies as a course isn't very well suited to teach religion anyways.
