We recently received a field trip letter where we have to give permission for our daughter to attend a play where they are traveling on a bus. One section says "risks associated" and the teacher wrote in "risks associated with traveling on a bus (but don't worry, God is in control). For those of you that are religious and did grow up in Catholic schools, is this not a little over-the-top? Honest question. There are many other instances where I've thought this, but this is the latest example. What do you guys think?

I was raised religious (Jewish), but I fully intend on sending my child through the Catholic school system. From what I've seen, the Catholic system may lay it on thick, but they're also fairly open minded and teach about other religions as well. I have met very few persons who go through the system (under 40) who come out hardcore Catholic (typically quite the opposite), but they are always very aware of the differences in religions, and seem a bit more well versed in the pros and cons (as it were) of the Bible.
