Yeah, why in the world anyone would want a teacher they don’t know to teach religion to their kid, is beyond me. Their beliefs could be anything, and thus they may teach the material with whatever kind of negative or positive spin they want.

I disagree. Some sort of Survey of World Religions course, where kids learn the basics of the major belief systems, would be a good thing. I agree that you would want that curriculum to be pretty tightly designed and that it would have to be delivered without editorializing, but all in all, isn’t it better that kids are taught about the major faiths?
