[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our elementary's whole school morning meeting for March featured Ramadan and Holi with nary a word about Easter, which I found a little odd but rolled with because I'm not a psycho. Understanding the major world religions—including not just the fact of those religions but their specific lore as well—is critical to understanding history, literature, and art. I'm glad for the exposure my child gets to those things at school.[/quote] I agree but would add that it's also critical to understand Easter as well. Just as cultural Christians need to understand non-Christian traditions and references so do cultural non-Christians need to understand Christian traditions and references. In my experience both groups have a shocking lack of basic knowledge about the cultural practices of other faiths and traditions. The rule needs to be all or none. [/quote]
