Swedish government - its illegal for schools to teach religious doctrine as if it were true.
The Swedish government has announced plans to clamp down hard on religious education. It will soon become illegal even for private faith schools to teach religious doctrines as if they were true. In an interesting twist on the American experience, prayer will remain legal in schools - after all, it has no truth value. But everything that takes place on the curriculums time will have to be secular. Pupils must be protected from every sort of fundamentalism, said the minister for schools, Jan Björklund.
