I want parents to able to decide about their children's participation in these activities, which we believe should constitute an optional element of the curriculum

It is a parental right and responsibility to instil cultural and religious values in their children according to the values they believe in and live by. We believe parents should be able to withdraw their children from lessons that can include contentious and sensitive subjects, and that beliefs and values should be transferred via family structures and not schools.
