It's a sad thing, really, that schools are so willing to discourage kids from practicing their religion and beliefs. School is definitely more than just academics, but unfortunately as time goes on, it seems people are forgetting that. Putting religion aside, my high school is currently "preparing students for college" over life. Kids shouldn't have to be afraid for standing up for their beliefs, but schools don't exactly endorse that thinking. Well said.

I go to a Catholic high school in Canada so it is mandatory that we take a class on religion for all four years of school here. Religious activities are run at my school but I find pagans are subject to much ridicule; my sister being one of them before she graduated.

I went to a Catholic school and personally liked it. My school concentrated on social justice, and being a girls school tried to build up our identities as independent women. The community aspect of catholicism is quite good...but their beliefs are as vast and different from eachother as starfish and the stars above.

I'm not too fond of Catholic schools here in the United States, tried one for a year and it jut didn't go well. If I had my way when my husband was still alive I never would have put my kids in public school. While I may not agree with the Pagan religions, I have no hatred toward them, and believe they do have the rights to believe what they wish. it's ridculous really
