In what way? Pretty much accepted that parents shouldn't force political beliefs on their children. I don't see how religious beliefs 1/2

I agree. But parents will tell their children what they believe to be true & morally right. If they are religious it will include this.

My daughter is atheist & voted libdem like me in school mock-vote. I encourage free thought but can't keep my views away from her entirely.

And we can't tell parents what views they are allowed to express at home & raise their children with if we don't want that imposed on us.

We dont let children vote until they are 18 because we dont think they are mature enough to decide. Yet we are happy for young children 1/2
