Of course children are exposed to religion and there seems no way of stopping that! So, best discuss their exposure to politics, perhaps. But there's no way of stopping that either really, so the question is how to handle the inevitable exposure.

The massive "Centre" is something the child will meet anyway as "taken for granted" politics. That's worrying too. -- Best regards, Judy mailto:judithevans001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
