Supreme Court to hear case over Quebec’s controversial ethics and religion class

The security of our children is paramount. Ideologically, and physically. It is an important debate. How do we help children to understand the different religions, and cultures of this world? It is not as simplistic as teaching a westernized curriculum of mosaic or multicultural values of who we are as Canadians, Americans, indigenous, class or people of diverse cultures.

Parents want to choose? Is that a form of protectionism? How do we look at ourselves and understand a family's interpretation of another culture, religion and history? I.e. stereotyping, propaganda, church values, family history, generational history, it is a complex issue.

All we can do is each pray to the Creator in their own words, thoughts, and prayers, and perhaps we can find what is best for our children and not directed by state ideological apparatuses bent on form control and mass order.
