Hang on... is this religious indoctrination or religious education? Do kids still learn about the tenants and history of various religions?

It's indoctrination under the guise of education.

I went to a C of E religious school. Separately from the christian assemblys and sermons we actually had decent RE classes teaching about all major world religions. No critical thinking or historical context, of course, but it was still rather civilised.

I didn't appreciate it until I found out more about what passes for education in other countries...
