PackratsHouse What would bother me is if my child knew the religious belief of their teacher. The only way that could happen is if it was brought into the classroom where it does not belong.

PackratsHouse Never! If someone doesn't want their children to read something that is their right. However, it is not for them to set the standards for others. This subject sets me off no end.
