These sickos should be banned from schools

They are at it again, but even sicker this time: now they are getting at kindergarten-age children, practically babies. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/a-controversial-religious-instruction--program-is-being-taught-at--preschool-20151109-gkufkr.html

They are an explicitly Christian centre, though, right? Otherwise, this is pretty weird, to say the least.

They don't overtly advertise as a Christian childcare centre.

No mention of religion, but their meat is halal.

Yet they advertise for jobs here. http://www.christianjobs.com.au/company/2682/Emmanuel-Early-Learning/

I have no problem with a religious based place providing religious education whether it be Catholic, Muslim or Greek Orthodox, whataver. But at least be up front with it. If you're going for an open market, you do all religions or none.

Well said, Stui. If I was a non-Christian parent leaving my child there, with the understanding that they were going to receive standard secular care, I'd be horrified to find out that this was going on.

There's the opt-out clauses, obviously, but what child wants to sit on their own while the rest of the group participate in activities?

I hope that they make their objectives a little clearer in person than they do on their website.
