@notnixon “de-programming” 😳 that was basically my teens! When we filled out school applications we checked the excluded from religious activities box. I take it they don’t really pay attention to that. Must be so difficult for families from other backgrounds, I wouldn’t mind if they put this much effort into learning about other religions or lack thereof
@mlinssen he’s only 6, I’m not sure I’m ready for him to be aware of Wikipedia 😂
@RomanticSkeptic we’re always honest and age appropriate with our answers to his questions. He’s a curious wee guy ☺️
@BillySangster oh my, I’d be complaining about that too!
@dobstey yeah I like this, if I use StarWars terms he might get it more 😂
@BillySangster he’s just at that age where he thinks everything the teacher says is true. He does love dinosaurs and science so I think he’ll come alright in the end ☺️
@_jpmh_ I was brought up in a very strict religious household so it pains me having fought for so long against it all. My son’s school isn’t affiliated, I don’t mind about him learning about religion but not in a “this is the truth” kind of way.
@maker works for sites I don’t own such as Folksy/Etsy?
@maker this might just be the location for my alter ego #jenstarknits
As an atheist how do you handle conversations with your child after they get indoctrinated at school? Kid is only 6 and is believing that the bible stories are gospel. 🤦‍♀️ #ThanksForNothing #SchoolNativity #PunIntended
