Do you know what the current curriculum calls for in your school district?

"Do you know what the current curriculum calls for in your school district?"

Only through the second grade which my oldest will be in next year. Of course it looks innocent enough when you look at it in summary form.

The only thing I know that they have taught so far that I object to, is that they taught my daughter in Kindergarden that Ramadan was good because they gave to the poor. I agreed giving to the poor was good, but then provided balance by explaining what the Muslims do to the Jews.

It worries me very much what they teach that I don't catch and know to balance. She learned the thing about Ramadan despite the fact that her Kindergarden teacher was a Christian. Her first grade teacher was a Christian also with an excellent reputation.

I know they have taught a lot about other cultures. The fear of course is that they will teach all cultures are equal and all religions are equal. I've tried to balance that by explaining that while people are equal under God, that all religions and all cultures are not equal and why.

She will get exposed to these ideas evenutally anyway, so I have to make sure that she has a good enough knowledge of God's Word and critical thinking skills that she can spot the lies and the spin. But I hate that I have to counter this stuff in Kindergarden and Elementary years. It ought to be a time of innocence.
