This is perfectly fine, students go to these schools knowing what to 
expect, parents put them in these schools for that reason, no problems what 
so ever. I have friends that went to catholic schools, they had a religion 
class.

This is bad, and I disagree with it, It is one thing to learn what the 
Church of England is, and what role it played in history, but it another to 
teach the religions its self.
