^^ Jimmy nailed what I was getting. Obviously educating people on different religious/political ideologies is important, but favoring one over the other or allowing one to distribute materials intended to convert is not appropriate. And I think 5 years old is much to young to properly institute a healthy discussion on these matters. Kids that age generally cannot form their own opinions on such complicated ideas. They believe in Santa and the easter bunny, how can they intelligently discuss and learn about Marxism? Most adults don't understand the difference between socialism and communism, how can you expect a 5 year old to properly discern the difference between education and indoctrination?
