they have changed in two thousand years..
Mahatma Ghandi
The school states the parties were non-religious - these teachers should be fired, or at least given a stern refresher on their own school policies.
First off, despite the fact of your non-religion, why would you not let your child attend the RE classes? Education, even on topics you don't believe in, is always an addition. I cannot understand why this child didn't attend the classes, and the school was okay with that.
Second, as a school, you cannot exclude children from any activity.
I have kinda mixed feelings about this story...

Religion classes are dogma - They teach what children MUST believe.
My child would never go to a class like that. Study world religions, yes ... but not to be told what to believe. No class where the right answer on a test might be "It was a virgin birth".
It was petty of the school to punish the child and it speaks to their rigid religious dogma.

Was it a religeous school? I don't think so. So they cannot teach your kid what it MUST believe. Religion classes should be about world religion, unless you go to a religious school.
the Catholic church continues.. convert or be damned..

where the F*** does it say anything about the Catholic church?...jumping to conclusions?

I have a friend who used to go to a Catholic school. They don't teach you what you MUST believe. World religions is a part of the religion class, my friend went to a Buddhist temple for a field trip once.
Don't be so quick to judge.
I know how this kid must feel because I wasn't allowed to goto the tech party because I wasn't in any tech classes.
I am Catholic and proud of it.. I dont think you would see this in a Catholic setting....
Sorry to burst your bubble, there is no way to ensure a child must believe. All the kid has to do is pay attention and answer the guestions correctly even if he doesn't believe it. Sort of like the George Bush and Iraq scenario.
If I can recall that far back, as a child attending Catholic school I didn't believe in what was being spewed during morning Catechism classes yet I could spout all the correct answers when the Sisters quized us.
The simple reason for this is, that if you didn't you got a ruler up the side of the head, which is not the best way to ensure "children MUST believe".

Yer taking all the fun out of it for him Eye. After all, Catholicism is on the very short list of allowable prejudices.
