Controversy Heightens Over Ethics and Religion Course

Does taking an ethics and religion course violate freedom of religion?

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Catholic parents in Quebec cannot keep their kids out of a school course that teaches them about other religions.

The parents maintained that the program interfered with their ability to pass on the Catholic religion to their children, and that exposing their children to various religions was confusing for them. They claimed their children would suffer serious harm from contact with a series of beliefs that were mostly incompatible with those of the family.

Do you agree with the Court’s ruling?
